This paper describes the design and implementation of a CORBA/SNMP gateway. The gateway is used to integrate traditional network management systems using CORBA. The integrated network management system uses World Wide Web (WWW) and CORBA. WWW provides a platform-independent and easy-to-use interface to distributed applications and CORBA is used to integrate different network management models seamlessly. To support the traditional managed objects without modification, we use a translation gateway between two different management models. The integrated network management server consists of a WWW server with enhancement for network management and translation gateways for converting management operations between different management models. This paper describes the design and implementation of a CORBA/SNMP gateway. The CORBA/SNMP gateway provides a syntactic and dynamic translation between CORBA and SNMP management models. The gateway provides a CORBA view to SNMP MIBs and allows the CORBA managers to access SNMP agents via CORBA operations. The CORBA/SNMP gateway also delivers the traps occurred in the SNMP agents to the CORBA managers that want to receive the trap information.

The CORBA provides a object-oriented middleware that lets applications extend their range across networks, languages, component boundaries, and operating systems. Java can provide a potable object that works in any operating system. Mapping Java into CORBA helps large scale information system operate through the Web by using the mobile code property of Java and object component technique of CORBA. This development environment is called the Object Web. This paper proposes an architecture of OSI network management with a CORBA manager using Object Web and an CORBA/CMIS gateway which apply a CMIS-level gateway model to gateway. In this architecture, CORBA manager is based on Object Web and can manage MOs in the OSI domain. The gateway has a role to translate CORBA IDLs into CMIS services and vice versa. In addition, an OSI agent is abstracted into a CORBA agent.

Interworking of legacy TC application and CORBA-BASED one is important to satisfy emerging market demands of the rapid introduction of new multimedia services and building of scalable, flexible, and interoperable service control architecture. For this, we develop generic TC/CORBA gateway on interworking between. TC and CORBA system Generic TC/CORBA gateway can be used for interworking in many fields of telecommunication service control such as INAP, MAP, other TC-based application parts, and mobility management of IMT-2000. Finally, we propose the object pool mechanism for efficient management of TC-user objects and it is helpful for enhancement of scalability and reduction of the response time of remote service operations.

The CMIP(Common Management Information Protocol) and SNMP(Simple Network Management Network) are the two major network management protocols, Which nee to be integrated. Since the networks need to be managed in a uniform way, the CORBA(Common Object Request Broker Architecture) NE View is to develop as a Standard in the ATM Forum For the TMN management structure to integrate these two protocols. In this paper, the function classes are defined to develop the gateway for efficient subnetwork management. The function classes are defined based on the analysis of EMS functions which are mainly network management design of the TMN structure. Also, the object models of the SMI)(Structure of Management Information) in SNMP and the GDMO(Guidelines for the Definition of Managed Objects) in CMIP are developed way direct translation and abstract translation. The integrated management system design, information model translation of EMS using classdefinition, is efficient is efficient method to interconnect CORBA/SNMP and CORBA/CMIP.

This paper discusses some problems of the TMN-based architecture of integrated network management systems and presents a CORBA-based architecture of distributed network management system with reliability, which maintains location transparency of distributed managed objects and provides an interoperability among heterogeneous networks and systems. In this paper, the proposed distributed management system model has been applied to the TMN based management systems and then considered for qualitative evaluation of system performance. Two different types of implementation models have been proposed: one is a system using a CORBA gateway and the other is a pure CORBA system, which maps all managed objects into CORBA objects. The characteristics of two system model have been compared in the respect of system implementation

In spreading an internet service and developing a network technology, The interest of study about the remote control system using web environment increased. In treatise, We describe a design and an implementation of the gateway system that is based 3-tier model using corba in middleware. This system is applicatble various system environment because of using middleware and overcome a time limit and range limit because of using web browser interface.

Todays enterprise networks are composed of multiple types of interconnected networks.Enterprise Networks interoperability between these technologies is needed. To enable interworking, it is necessary to be able to map between the relevant object models and to build on this to provide a mechanism to handle protocol conversion on the domain boundaries.In this paper, we describe a gateway between management application in the CORBA domain and agent in the SNMP domain and various integration methods. The main function of the gateway is to dynamically convert the method invocations on object reference in CORBA domain to SNMP messages for MIB entries at remote agents, We also present translation methods from SNMP MIB to CORBA IDL using Direct translation and Abstract translation. JIDM algorithm has no notion of containment and inheritance relationships between object classes and is difficult to understanding between management attribute and SNMP Action attribute. Abstract translation over come these problems.New superclasses define for common attributes and define explicit CORBA method for SNMP Action.It is a methodology for obtaining the CORBA-compliant management agents from already existing SNMP agents.

지금까지, 전기통신망과 장비들의 관리에 대해서는 많은 연구들이 진행되었지만, TMN 상위 계층의 서비스 관리와 비즈니스 관리에 대한 연구는 많이 수행되지 못했다. 최근 전세계적으로 TMN 상위 계층의 관리기능 구현을 위해서 CORBA 기술을 적용하고자하는 관심이 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는, 정보모델과 상호운용에 관한 TMN과 CORBA의 주요특징들을 비교하고, TMN 프레임웍와 효율적인 CORBA 기술 연동을 위한 플랫폼 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 구조에서, TMN 관리 정보를 CORBA IDL 인터페이스로 변환해주는 GDMO/ASN.1 - CORBA IDL 변환기가 고안, 구현되었고, JIDM의 상호 작용 변환의 구현을 위해서 TMN/CORBA 게이트웨이 또한 고안되었다. 그리고 이러한 기능의 확장을 위해서 모듈 형식으로 라이브러리들과 코드 생성기들이 설계, 구현되었다.Abstract Up to now, a lot of efforts have been made for the management of telecommunication networks and equipment, but less effort has been made for the realization of higher-layer service and business management. There are recently worldwide growing interests for applying CORBA technology for the realization of higher layer Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) management functions. In this paper, we compare the features of TMN and CORBA with respect to information model, and operational behavior. And then, we propose a platform architecture for the efficient integration of CORBA technology within TMN framework. Within platform architecture, GDMO/ASN.1 to IDL translator has been designed and implemented for translating TMN management information into CORBA IDL interface. The TMN/CORBA gateway is also designed for realization of the interaction translation specification of JIDM task force. The libraries and code generators have been designed and implemented in a modular fashion to provide the functional extensibility.

인터넷의 사용이 활발해지면서 이동 중에도 인터넷을 이용 정보를 얻거나 쇼핑을 하려는 사람들이 늘어남에 따라 Mobile Network이나 Mobile 환경에서의 보안이 요구되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 Architecture for Location Independent CORBA Environment (ALICE)구조에 기반을 둔 Mobile CORBA 환경에서 Mobile Host(MH)와 Mobile Gateway(MG)간의 통신 시 전파 특성상 보안에 취약하여 정보유출의 우려가 있다. 그래서 현재 공개키 방식으로 널리 쓰이는 SSL(Secure Socket Layer)을 이용 무선에서의 보안을 제안한다.
