This paper proposes an approach to the management of traffic in telecommunication networks. It was motivated by the growing need for Intelligent Network Management in current Telecommunication Networks such as PSTN, ISDN or transmission networks. The goal is to constantly act upon the network in order to control the traffic flow, trying to maximize the number of calls that reach destination or ...

TINA aims to provide an architecture based on distributed computing technologies that will enable telecommunications networks to support the flexible introduction and control of new advanced services. The provided services and the supporting network and computing infrastructure will be managed in an integrated fashion. Network management aspects in TINA are addressed by its Network Resource Arc...

This paper introduces a new technique for location management in cellular networks. It avoids the recording of moving tracks of mobile subscribers. The described procedures are derived from the well known untraceable MIX network and the distributed storage of location information according to GSM networks. 1 Terminology The served area of a cellular radio network is usually divided into locatio...

This paper presents a new use of safe Petri nets and its partial order semantics, in the eld of telecommunication network management. Petri nets are used to provide both a model and an algorithm in fault management domain. First, a model of fault and alarm propagation, based on 1-safe Petri nets, is deened. Then an algorithm, based on net unfolding, is designed. This study leads to a generic su...

This chapter proposes an integrated methodological system of telecommunication customer detainment management, including telecommunication customer churn prediction and strategy formulation of customer detainment management. The formulation of churn customer detainment management strategy includes customer detainment value assessment, customer detainment level determination, enterprise-attribut...

Sophisticated network management is now very common. However, the legal consequences in terms of the liabilities, whether civil or criminal, of the Service Provider in connection with the type of management used have been poorly explored. In this work in progress, we identify the research questions, the methodology and work hypotheses of our future research. Keywords-Deep Packet Inspection; Tel...

With the rapid evolution of telecommunication networks, real-time traffic management is becoming more and more crucial. We propose here a neural network modular architecture for performing diagnosis at different levels of the telephone network. This system is designed as an aid to the operator. We present results of different experiments with a first version of the architecture which mainly ope...

Several real problems in telecommunication, transportation, and distribution industries can be well analyzed by network flow models. In revenue management, pricing plays a primary role which increases the profit generated from a limited supply of assets. Pricing decision directly affects the amount of service or product demand. Hence, in traditional maximum flow problem, we assume that the dema...
