    abstract =  {This document describes a possible direction for the management of Network-as-a-Service (NaaS), in which the relationship between a service consumer and a provider is treated not as a static contract but as a continuous, automated negotiation conducted on both sides by cognitive software agents. A NaaS whose required bandwidth, latency and availability move continuously cannot be settled once at order time; it is a standing dialogue - intent, quote, agreement and in- life change - that today stops at the customer-operator boundary and is bridged by humans. The document frames that boundary as the unautomated gap, sketches an end-to-end agentic negotiation architecture that closes it, and describes the intent instance as a managed object whose life cycle includes scarcity-driven pricing and closed-loop renegotiation. It maps the architecture onto already- published specifications from several bodies, showing that the direction rests on a standards basis rather than on new protocol invention. Two NaaS settings illustrate its utility.},
