The present invention provides a software installing apparatus and a software installing method that facilitate the use of cooperatively operable software by automatically setting the user parameters, even in an environment where the users can connect or disconnect their PCs to the network frequently, and provides a recording medium storing a program for realizing the method. A client object includes an identifier storing part for storing the identifier of a computer on which a server object corresponding to the client object operates. The client object is transmitted to a computer. When the client object starts in the computer, the computer where the corresponding server object starts can be easily identified.

Apparatus and method for installing software and recording medium storing program for realizing the method

The Internet has experienced a phenomenal growth since the National Science Foundation commercialized of the Internet in April 1995 A new business model is formed since then and the key players of the Internet are the operators of the network access points, metropolitan area exchange, independent service providers (ISP) and the non-profit, voluntary Internet organizations There are several factors that fueled the growth of the Internet: new users, new World Wide Web hosts, browsing and searching technologies, and content In conjunction with these changes and growth opportunities, the Internet industry is restructuring itself New players entered the competition and new partnerships/alliances were formed It is believed that globalization of the Internet access will offer ISPs competitive advantage to serve local country/regional customers, multinational corporations and travellers This paper describes a business model which will provide a vehicle for the ISPs to expand their operations globally and establish a global Internet access platform

Globalization of Internet access

A Computer network consists of millions of devices and is connected together for proper communication. In networks, communication paths are very important as they transfer the data from one point to another and should be monitored continuously. An alarm should be generated when a network element and its communication link in a topology is failed. Moreover, alarms should contain the severity of the damage to the communication between the network entities. The severity will help the operator to prioritise the alarms. For efficient and continuous monitoring, the network topology should be analysed with respect to location. Hence whenever alarms are generated, the network topology can be analysed with respect to the severity of alarm and the location of the device. In this paper, we mainly focus on implementation of AOR (Automated Operation Recovery) alarm system with the severity states and location of the devices. Thus we can provide end-to-end service dashboard with tables, maps to identify, monitor and track the quality of service levels.

Implementation of AOR Alarm States for Network Elements and Their Service Impact Analysis

Automation has been applied to many industries to improve quality of the products and productivity of the workforce. Telecommunications services are no exception. This paper presents a network computing model and architecture that are being used by AT&T to automate its global network management services. The model is based on client/server technology, and the architecture is designed to address the diverse requirements of an operational work center which include a user-friendly graphical interface, sharing and easy access to information among multiple centers, disaster recovery, future expansion and operation centers, connectivity to different element management systems (EMSs) for alarm tracking and performance measurement The goals are to reduce the cost of managing customer's global networks, to improve the efficiency of the operations and to provide a quality service to the global customers. >
