A method for operating a telecom network having a Service Level Agreement, SLA, the method comprising: obtaining annotated alarm data comprising an indication of a threshold crossing of at least one state variable of the telecom network defined by the SLA, the annotated alarm data further comprising an indication of a desired value of the at least one state variable of the telecom network, wherein the desired state of the at least one state variable is based on a predefined static model, predefined static function or a trained self-learning model 8a - 8N; determining a desired state of the telecom network based on the desired value of at least one state variable; selecting a set of policy actions from a policy action bank; wherein the policy action bank comprises a plurality of policy actions, each policy action being associated with at least one estimated action effect, and wherein the selection of the set of policy actions is based on the estimated action effects of the plurality of policy actions and on the determined desired state of the telecom network such that the desired state is reachable upon execution of the selected set of policy actions; wherein the estimated action effects of each policy action are obtained by means of an explicit mathematical function/model or by means of a trained self-learning model; sending the selected set of policy actions to an action orchestrating module for execution of the selected set of policy actions. obtaining annotated alarm data comprising an indication of a threshold crossing of at least one state variable of the telecom network defined by the SLA, the annotated alarm data further comprising an indication of a desired value of the at least one state variable of the telecom network, wherein the desired state of the at least one state variable is based on a predefined static model, predefined static function or a trained self-learning model 8a - 8N; determining a desired state of the telecom network based on the desired value of at least one state variable; selecting a set of policy actions from a policy action bank; wherein the policy action bank comprises a plurality of policy actions, each policy action being associated with at least one estimated action effect, and wherein the selection of the set of policy actions is based on the estimated action effects of the plurality of policy actions and on the determined desired state of the telecom network such that the desired state is reachable upon execution of the selected set of policy actions; wherein the policy action bank comprises a plurality of policy actions, each policy action being associated with at least one estimated action effect, and wherein the selection of the set of policy actions is based on the estimated action effects of the plurality of policy actions and on the determined desired state of the telecom network such that the desired state is reachable upon execution of the selected set of policy actions; wherein the estimated action effects of each policy action are obtained by means of an explicit mathematical function/model or by means of a trained self-learning model; sending the selected set of policy actions to an action orchestrating module for execution of the selected set of policy actions.
