A wide range of security services may be available to applications in a heterogeneous computer network environment. Resource Management Systems (RMSs) responsible for assigning computing and network resources to tasks need to know the resource-utilization costs associated with the various network security services. In order to understand the range of security services an RMS needs to manage, a ...

Today’s complicated and heterogeneous telecommunication network environments need fullyintegrated, cost-effective, user-friendly management systems. When developing such management systems in distributed environments, many telecommunication companies are carefully adopting CORBA and Java technologies. CORBA technology enables developers to create and manipulate distributed management system com...

Japanese electric power companies seek to maintain highly reliable telecommunication networks in order to protect, operate, and maintain electric power systems. Hence, such companies operate telecommunication networks that consist of various kinds of network elements, such as microwave radio communication systems, optical fiber communication systems, and communication line carrier networks. Int...

This article presents a security architecture suitable for implementation of the security services and mechanisms selected by the security policies defined by the ACTS TRUMPET project for an appropriate protection of the external interfaces of TMNs. These security policies define the protection measures to use for communication in the inter-domain management case. These measures need to be impl...

Future telecommunication services will extensively exploit database technology. The persistent and temporal information needed in operations and management of the telecommunication networks and services will be in databases. The current Intelligent Network (IN) Recommendations of ITU-T imply that real-time transaction processing capabilities should be provided. Telecommunications Management Net...
