Recommendations of ITU-T and ISO stipulate the managerial abstraction of static and dynamic characteristics of network elements, management functions as well as management communication protocol. The current recommendations provide the formal mechanism for the structural parts of managed objects such as managed object class and attributes. But the current description method does not provide the formal mechanism for the behavioral characteristics of managed objects in clear manner but in natural language form, the complete specification of managed objects is not fully described. Also, the behaviour of managed objects is affected by their temporal and active properties. While the temporal properties representing periodic or repetitive internals are to describe managed objects behaviour in rather strict way, it will be more powerful if more dynamic temporal properties determined by external conditions are added to managed objects. In this paper, we added dynamic features to scheduling managed objects, and described, in GDMO, scheduling managed objects that support dynamic features. We also described behaviour of managed objects in newly defined BDL that has dynamic temporal properties. This paper showed that dynamic temporal managed objects provide a systematic and formal method in agent management function model.

Systematic telecommunication network management is essential for operating large-scale integrated networks which consist of various network components manufactured by different vendors. ISO and ITU-T recommend the CMIP-based TMN architecture for this purpose. TMN uses GDMO for the definition of managed objects, and various GDMO compilers have been developed. However, the development of management objects by using these compilers is still a difficult task. In this paper, we present a GUI-based managed objects development environment, MODE. MODE divides managed object codes by system independent code(SIC) and system dependent cede(SDC). By providing development environments for SIC and SDC, MODE can ease the development of managed objects. To show the efficiency of MODE, we develop the managed objects of an ATM switch in MODE.

Network management in TMN concerns to the operating system and communication equipments in network, and defines them as objects. GDMO(guidelines for the Definition of Managed Objects) is used to describe those objects. GDMO is not directly used for managing the network, but translated into a language with object-oriented paradigm. And GDMO refers to ASN.1(Abstract Syntax Notation One) for manage objects. This paper presents design and implementation techniques for the translator which automatically translates the specification of ASN.1 and GDMO to the object-oriented language for generating MIB(Managed object Instance Base). This system, unlike the existing source code generator, is designed to generate various object-oriented languages automatically, which are used to generate Managed object Instance Base(MIB). And the system includes various graphic user interface to enhance the development environment of ASn.1 and GDMO

Network management system(NMS) provides not only effective monitoring and controlling of network which consists of heterogeneous network elements but prompt response to users' need for high-level communication services. Recommendations of ITU-T and ISO stipulate the managerial abstraction of static and dynamic characteristics of network elements, management functions as well as management communication protocol. But the current description method does not provide the formal mechanism for the behavior characteristics of managed objects in clear manner but in natural language form, the complete specification of managed objects is not fully described. In this paper, we describe determinants for the behaviour of managed objects applicable to every managed object, and present a language for specifying behavioral aspects of managed objects based on their temporal and active properties.

This paper proposes an integrated system for interworking different network management protocols. The interworking system between SNMP(Simple Network Management Protocol) and CMIP(Common Management Information Protocol) has been designed. We defined new managed object architecture using MOVI(Managed Object View Interface) concept and implemented an extended GDMO(EGDMO) compiler. An access mechanism for consistency control and atomic action on the sharing resources has been defined. Thus, even if a new management protocol would be introduced, new gateway system need not to be redesigned. It can be achieved with minimum modification of the view interface of managed objects. As a managed object can support various view interfaces, several network management protocols can directly access it. This approach, therefore, provides some benefits. For instance, manager can access managed objects without additional functions and tools. Ti, also, could be achieved interworking between SNMP and CMIP with minimum modification on the view interface of the managed objects defined previously. It is able to interwork more complicated network management protocols and to increase usefulness of SNMP and CMIP.

Moving objects are spatiotemporal data that location and shape of spatial objects are changed continuously over time. If spatiotemporal moving objects are managed by conventional database system, moving objects management systems have two problems as follows. First, update for location information changed over time is occurred frequently. Second, past and future information of moving objects are not provided by system because only current state of objects is stored in the system. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a spatiotemporal moving objects management system which is able to not only manage historical information of moving objects without frequent update, but also provide all location information about past, current, and near future. In the proposed system, information of moving objects are divided into location information for representing location and motion information for representing moving habits. Especially, we propose the method which can search location information all objects by use of changing process algorithms with minimum history information. Finally, we applied the proposed method to battlefield analysis system, as the result of experiment, we knew that past, current, and near future location information for moving objects are managed by relational database and GIS system.

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

Recently, location based services, which make use of location information of moving objects, have obtained increasingly high attention. The moving objects are time-evolving spatial objects, that is, their locations are dynamically changed as time varies. Generally, GIS server stores and manages the spatial objects, of which locations are rarely changed. The traditional GIS server, however, has a difficulty to manage the moving objects, due to the fact of locations being frequently changed and the trajectory information (past locations of moving objects) being managed. In this paper, we have designed a moving object server, which stores and manages the locations in order to support various location based services. The moving object server is composed of a location acquisition component, a location storage component, and a location query component. The contribution of this paper is that we integrate the each work for location acquisition, storage, and query into a moving objects server.

Optical burst switching (OBS) overcomes the inefficient resource usage of optical circuit switching and minimizes the optical buffering requirement of optical packet switching. General switch management protocol (GSMP) is an open interface between a label switch and a controller, and it provides connection, configuration, performance, event management and synchronization. GSMP open interface in the OBS network allows the implementation of OBS switch to be simple by separating the data forward plane from the control plane. We defined managed objects to support connection, configuration, performance, and fault management for the management of OBS network in the GSMP open interface. We proposed the network management model, in which the above managed objects are distributed in a controller and an OBS switch according to network management functions. We verified the possibility of connection management using distributed network management model in the GSMP open interface of OBS network by implementing GSMP and network management functions with managed objects of OBS.

These days, in order to satisfy the complex and various demands of the customers, the telecommunication networks must provide rapid and flexible services, with the support of efficient service and network management systems. To satisfy these requirements, many objects for management have been released to manage network services and elements. But there are no efficient ways to manage these newly managed objects in object-oriented software. Therefore, we study several problems, when a subsystem using object-oriented technique is implemented. The first problem is that interface works between realized application programs using its technique. The second problem is that reusability of internal managed objects is difficult. In this paper, we will point out some problems and to solve these problems, we have proposed the Object Management System (OMS) architecture, which supports a transparent interface between object-oriented applications and the distributed data repositories. Also in order to manage efficient business objects stored in the different repositories, we suggest a method for integrating dynamic information resources in heterogeneous and distributed network environments. Finally, we applied OMS to TINA(Telecommunication Information Network Architecture) domain, implemented OMS, and verified it with SMV(Symbolic Model Verifier) which is model checking technology.
