Self-optimization
In cellular communications technology, Self-Optimization is a process in which the system’s settings are autonomously and continuously adapted to the traffic profile and the network environment in terms of topology, propagation and interference.[1] Together with Self-Planning and Self-Healing, Self-Optimization is one of the key pillars of the Self-Organizing Networks (SON) management paradigm proposed by NGMN.[2] The autonomous trait of Self-Optimization involves no human intervention at all during the aforementioned optimization process.
More generally, constructal theory is showing [3][4][5] that all phenomena of self-optimization, self-organization, and end-design are manifestations of the universal tendency of design generation and evolution in nature, which is covered by the Constructal Law [6] of physics.
