"This volume brings together the full range of topics in telecommunications network management, including the evolution of management techniques and first-hand accounts of management experiences in new technologies and services. The reader will understand how information modeling and distributed management help in simplifying network representation, introducing computing platforms, where necessary, and offsetting operations costs.Telecommunications Network Management is key to successfully keeping up with the increasingly market-driven telecommunications field. It covers a wide range of topics from the evolution of management techniques to the experiences of management in new technologies and services. Where the authors' previous book, NETWORK MANAGEMENT INTO THE 21st CENTURY, introduced network management techniques, standards, and applications, this book covers the implementation of these concepts in today's telecommunications industry. Foremost experts in the field have contributed all original material for this important book that will provide the reader with experiences in implementing management infrastructures for information networking."

Telecommunications Network Management: Technologies and Implementations

A follow-up to Telecommunications Network Management into the 21st Century: Techniques, Standards, Technologies, and Applications (IEEE Press 1994), this collection of original chapters written by leading experts in the field brings together a full range of applications topics in telecommunications network management. Telecommunications Network Management illustrates how related technology advancements in the telecommunications and computing industries can help engineers achieve cost-effective, end-to-end management of networks. The reader will understand how information modeling and distributed management help to simplify network representation, introduce computing platforms, and reduce operations costs. This book will help engineers and technical managers who face the challenge of integrating multiple technologies, working with multiple vendors, and identifying different management requirements. Topics covered include:

• Information modeling
• New software paradigms
• Distributed management
• Management of CATV and wireless networks
• Software applications lifecycle
