Operator-oriented approach for the inter-work of service- and network management

摘要

In order to gain flexibility for network management systems, interworking among the service management components, network management components and operators is necessary. To fulfil this requirement, we propose a module-based implementation framework to enhance the implementation aspects of the TINA Service Architecture. We propose a module-based implementation framework using the mapping relation of user interfaces and management functions that mediate the user interfaces in low-cost customer/operator environments and TINA service components. To support the interworking between the modules, we introduce an interworking mechanism using a management context description that is based on the data storage format to be shared by the modules.
