Telecommunications Information NetworkingArchitecture (TINA) provides an architecture based ondistributed computing technologies to enabletelecommunications networks to support the flexibleintroduction and operation of new advanced services and tomanage both the services and the network in anintegrated fashion. While the service operation andmanagement aspects are well advanced, network management aspects are less well defined. ResourceConfiguration Management (RCM) is one of the mostimportant management areas as it covers, among others,the management of static topology and dynamicconnectivity resources; these are both fundamental to theoperation of TINA services. In this paper we presentfirst an analysis of RCM, which results in introducinga new domain that deals with the configuration of management resources, in addition to network,service and computing resources. We then present ageneric model for configuration management computationalentities; this separates specific task-oriented aspects from generic resource representationsaccessed in a flexible fashion. The genericcomputational interface and relevant methodology forrepresenting and accessing resources are influenced fromOSI/TMN design principles, but make use of the TINAODP-based Distributed Processing Environment (DPE).Based on this generic model, we present an RCM systemarchitecture that deals with network and management resources. Parts of the latter have beenverified through a prototype implementation in thecontext of a real field trial.
