Abstract :
In a telecommunication management network (TMN), the interworking of manager and agent needs to exchange and process management information which is defined as the shared management knowledge (SMK) in the ITU-T Recommendation M.3010. The SMK includes information on the protocol knowledge, management functions, managed object classes and their instances and authorized capabilities. We examine in detail the design issues in developing an SMK system for supporting management systems. We present a design of a CORBA-based SMK system including the procedures of obtaining the SMK information from the management information base (MIB) and of the SMK context negotiations. Finally, our effort on the prototype implementation of an SMK system using ORBeline and OSIMIS is presented
