  The rapid development of emerging vehicular edge computing (VEC) brings new
opportunities and challenges for dynamic resource management. The increasing
number of edge data centers, roadside units (RSUs), and network devices,
however, makes resource management a complex task in VEC. On the other hand,
the exponential growth of service applications and end-users makes
corresponding QoS hard to maintain. Intent-Based Networking (IBN), based on
Software-Defined Networking, was introduced to provide the ability to
automatically handle and manage the networking requirements of different
applications. Motivated by the IBN concept, in this paper, we propose a novel
approach to jointly orchestrate networking and computing resources based on
user requirements. The proposed solution constantly monitors user requirements
and dynamically re-configures the system to satisfy desired states of the
application. We compared our proposed solution with the state-of-the-art
networking embedding algorithms using real-world taxi GPS traces. Results show
that our proposed method is significantly faster (up to 95%) and can improve
resource utilization (up to 76%) and the acceptance ratio of computing and
networking requests with various priorities (up to 71%). We also present a
small-scale prototype of the proposed intent management framework to validate
our solution.
