Abstract :
We use the Tcl/Tk language to develop a script-based TMN OpS development platform (TMN-ODP) that consists of APIs of various levels. This platform is able to interwork with other Tcl/Tk platforms so operation scenario programs can be built using existing Tcl/Tk scripts. For the high-level API, the ASN.1 value is defined as a string so developers do not need to use conventional APIs to set ASN.1 values. Moreover, the operation object concept is adopted by the high-level API. The high-level API allows scenario programs to be visualized using operation objects and their relationships. We construct experimental operation scenario scripts and confirm that an agent system can be operated by these scripts via CMIS/CMIP
