Synopsis

"This volume brings together the full range of topics intelecommunications network management, including the evolution ofmanagement techniques and first-hand accounts of managementexperiences in new technologies and services. The reader willunderstand how information modeling and distributed management helpin simplifying network representation, introducing computingplatforms, where necessary, and offsetting operationscosts.Telecommunications Network Management is key to successfullykeeping up with the increasingly market-driven telecommunicationsfield. It covers a wide range of topics from the evolution ofmanagement techniques to the experiences of management in newtechnologies and services. Where the authors' previous book,NETWORK MANAGEMENT INTO THE 21st CENTURY, introduced networkmanagement techniques, standards, and applications, this bookcovers the implementation of these concepts in today'stelecommunications industry. Foremost experts in the field havecontributed all original material for this important book that willprovide the reader with experiences in implementing managementinfrastructures for information networking."
