1. A method for dynamic network slice management, the method comprising:
collecting, at a first service node, current load conditions including information regarding a first set of network slices currently running on the first service node, configuration of the first set of network slices, key performance indicators (KPIs) for the first set of network slices, and network functions;
generating load condition prediction based on the collected current load conditions;
transmitting information regarding load conditions at the first service node to a second service node;
receiving, from the second service node, information regarding load conditions at the second service node, the received information including information regarding resource availability about a second set of network slices at the second service node;
generating, by the first service node, a first proposal for shared slice management based on received information and load condition prediction;
receiving, from the second service node, a second proposal for shared slice management;
generating an agreement on shared slice management at the future time based on the first proposal and second proposal;
modifying network slice configuration of network functions at the first service node based on the agreement.
