TL;DR: The network management problems of a telecommunications service provider are addressed and a solution is suggested on the basis of the standard architectures of network management integration.
Abstract: The variety of telecommunications services in their competitive market has forced telecommunications service providers to increase their network management capabilities and integrate its operations in order to reduce costs and raise customer satisfaction. Standardization organizations have recommended some issues in this regard. In this paper the network management problems of a telecommunications service provider are addressed and a solution is suggested on the basis of the standard architectures of network management integration. Different scenarios for implementing these architectures are introduced and compared with each other another.

TL;DR: This paper provides a design and implementation of Web Services-based NGOSS TSA in accordance with the architectural principles of TNA and the performance evaluation of the proposed system.
Abstract: To cope with frequent changes and functional additions of operation and support systems (OSSs), a guideline of OSS’s architecture and development methods is needed. TeleManagement Forum has provided Next Generation Operations Systems and Software (NGOSS) technology-neutral architecture (TNA), which describes major concepts and architectural details of the NGOSS architecture in a technologically neutral manner. The TNA can be mapped onto technology-specific architectures (TSAs) using specific technologies such as Extensible Markup Language, Java, and Common Object Request Broker Architecture. Web Service, a distributed and service-oriented computing technology, can be also applied to NGOSS TSA. In this paper, we provide a design and implementation of Web Services-based TSA in accordance with the architectural principles of TNA and the performance evaluation of our proposed system. Our work can be used as a guideline for anyone planning to develop a Web Services-based NGOSS TSA.

TL;DR: Three NGOSS‐based architectural core principles that are the foundation of NeOSS are presented, which are business process Integration by using BPM technology, distributed application integration by using EAI technology, and building a consolidated inventory DB based on a standard information model.
Abstract: Recently, most wireline telecom service providers have confronted a decrease of subscribers because wireless service providers are making inroads into traditional telecom markets and gaining tangible net earnings. To overcome a severely competitive business environment, wireline service providers strive to change their service infrastructure from a network-focused service to a value-added and customer-focused one that can create new value and markets. This also entails a paradigm shift in operations and management, and now most service providers are rushing to build a new converged OSS to efficiently accommodate the network and service evolution. KT has driven the NeOSS (New OSS) project to build a convergent OSS for the past 3 years. This paper presents three NGOSS-based architectural core principles that are the foundation of NeOSS, which are business process integration by using BPM technology, distributed application integration by using EAI technology, and building a consolidated inventory DB based on a standard information model. Lastly, we present KT's operational improvement through the use of NeOSS.

TL;DR: This paper addresses the original path, among Tier-1 wholesalers, carried out by Telecom Italia Sparkle in order to completely migrate from a traditional TDM-based platform to a fully IP infrastructure integrated both at the transport layer and the service layer.
Abstract: This paper addresses the original path, among Tier-1 wholesalers, carried out by Telecom Italia Sparkle in order to completely migrate from a traditional TDM-based platform to a fully IP infrastructure integrated both at the transport layer and the service layer. Focusing on the voice platform and the related OSS/BSS systems, the paper discusses on how (design criteria and achievements) the TIS integrated architecture has been implemented and its relationship with the Least Cost Routing system and describes the achieved results from the technical (e.g. decommissioning in 2005 all TDM switches, first among its peers) as well as business perspective (e.g. the achieved drop in the unitary cap.ex. and op.ex.). The paper ends presenting the guidelines TIS intends to follow for the forthcoming migration from a voice platform to multiservice one exploiting elements of an IMS-oriented architecture.
