Telecommunications Network Management

This text applies the concepts of network management techniques, standards and applications to the telecommunications industry. It covers a range of topics from the evolution of management techniques to the experiences of management in new technologies and services. Electrical Engineering Telecommunications Network Management: Technologies and Implementations A follow-up to Telecommunications Network Management into the 21st Century: Techniques, Standards, Technologies, and Applications (IEEE Press 1994), this collection of original chapters written by leading experts in the field brings together a full range of applications topics in telecommunications network management. Telecommunications Network Management illustrates how related technology advancements in the telecommunications and computing industries can help engineers achieve cost-effective, end-to-end management of networks. The reader will understand how information modeling and distributed management help to simplify network representation, introduce computing platforms, and reduce operations costs. This book will help engineers and technical managers who face the challenge of integrating multiple technologies, working with multiple vendors, and identifying different management requirements. Topics covered include: Information modeling New software paradigms Distributed management Management of CATV and wireless networks Software applications lifecycle "This volume brings together the full range of topics intelecommunications network management, including the evolution ofmanagement techniques and first-hand accounts of managementexperiences in new technologies and services. The reader willunderstand how information modeling and distributed management helpin simplifying network representation, introducing computingplatforms, where necessary, and offsetting operationscosts.Telecommunications Network Management is key to successfullykeeping up with the increasingly market-driven telecommunicationsfield. It covers a wide range of topics from the evolution ofmanagement techniques to the experiences of management in newtechnologies and services. Where the authors' previous book,NETWORK MANAGEMENT INTO THE 21st CENTURY, introduced networkmanagement techniques, standards, and applications, this bookcovers the implementation of these concepts in today'stelecommunications industry. Foremost experts in the field havecontributed all original material for this important book that willprovide the reader with experiences in implementing managementinfrastructures for information networking."
