Description
Summary:The key to the successful operation of INs is the existence of adequate operations support systems allowing for rapid deployment of new services, making them available to customers and allowing for their rapid customization and modification. The paper describes the design and functionality of the prototype service management system (SMS) developed for phase 1 of the GTE intelligent network (IN) testbed. Phase I SMS prototypes full service negotiation and management and memory administration. It provides a flow through process, fully automating the provisioning process from customer contact to service activation, with automatic error recovery capabilities. The SMS supports a flexible distributed architecture.< >
