Embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, a device, and a system for deploying a network slice. The method, device and system disclosed herein are related to the field of communications technologies, and are designed to solve the problem of low efficiency in manually deploying a network slice. An exemplary solution includes: a first network management unit receiving a network slice management request message that carries service traffic information of a network slice, and, based on the service traffic information of the network slice, deploying the network slice or selecting an available network slice in an existing network.

A method may include monitoring a network performance metric for multiple paths to a destination through a network, and storing historical performance data for the paths. The method may also include receiving a data flow directed to the destination, where the data flow may be subject to a network performance agreement. The method may additionally include determining aggregate historical performances for the paths, and comparing the aggregate historical performances for the paths. The method may also include, based on the comparison of the aggregate historical performances, routing the data flow through the network.

As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for orchestrating re-provisioning of network subscriber dedicated network slices. A request is received from an entity for use of a network. Network slice information indicating a plurality of slices of the network dedicated to a plurality of network subscribers is accessed. Provisioning of one of more slices of the plurality of slices to the entity is orchestrated, according to the request.

Provided herein are system, methods and computer program products for using a bot server for initiating and controlling bot instances, specifically conversation bot instances at client devices for interacting with users associated with the client devices. The bot server may communicate with a remote cloud service providing bot services for initiating and operating the bot instances to retrieve logic metadata used to control the bot instances and may use this metadata to initiate and control one or more bot instances at the client devices to interact with the associated users. In particular, the bot server may be deployed at a network edge in close network proximity to the client devices.
