While we're on the topic, if you liked the article quoted below, you may also like this one: David Clark et. al. -- A Knowledge Plane for the Internet <http://groups.csail.mit.edu/ana/Publications/PubPDFs/A%20knowlege%20plane%20for%20the%20internet.pdf>
Money quote: "The knowledge plane is novel in its reliance on the tools of AI and cognitive systems. We argue that cognitive techniques, rather than traditional algorithmic approaches, are best suited to meeting the uncertainties and complexity of our objective." It's all very hand-wavy but IMHO still serves a purpose in priming the reader's mind to evaluate current and future considerations in machine intelligence for their usefulness in computer networking.
