1 Loss System For a background review, I started the summer vacation scholorship by looking at loss systems. In a telecommunication context, this means that a new coming call is blocked (or lost) if there is no free circuits for that call. First of all, I made myself familiar with the notations. In a loss system, let C be the total number of circuits available, n be the number of circuits in us...

This paper reviews some basic concepts about network management and introduces a new approach for the management of telecommunication networks, using SIS (System for the Integration of Supervision). The approach is based on the gradual integration of the existing proprietary management systems, while simultaneously moving towards the new ITU-T network management standards, namely TMN.

The growing number of unauthorized activities and various trends of networking technologies in telecommunication network have added heavy burdens to telecommunication performance management (PM) system. One-class-support vector machine (OCSVM) is introduced in this paper, to automatically detect network anomalies. Real telecommunication performance data are employed in this paper to investigate...
