From the Publisher:As competitive pressures increase for improved, more efficient performance and interoperability among networks, your ability to accurately specify equipment and network applications becomes more critical than ever before. Meet that challenge by better understanding, relating and applying two key model-based methods for specifying transport equipment, interoperability, and management. With this new book, you can combine these two methods for a holistic approach to supporting today's complex networks. This new guide is a major step forward for communication systems engineers and managers integrating multiple technologies and accomodating emergent services, and for vendors and operators needing to ensure compliance with ATM, SDH, and WDM global specifications. The authors provide a disciplined, standards-based tool for equipment designers, engineers and architects of telecommunications systems, hardware, and software, as well as university professors and graduate-level students. This book enables you to: Learn the Functional Modeling approach used for specification of telecommunications networks and equipment and the Open Distributed Processing (ODP) approach for specification of TC network management Gain an overview of important Unified Modeling Language (UML) contructs used to express ODP-based management specifications Tackle issues associated with inter-domain management arising from the inherent complexity of management applications and networks, adminstrative drivers, and the advent of new technologies
