Description
Summary:Telecommunication network management solutions need to shift perspective from one of network element management to service management. Operators need a service view of their network, with automatic service-impact correlation. This requires some major changes in the underlying solutions: equipment vendors must improve the supplied management interfaces and network management solutions must implement a higher degree of automation and correlation with a service focus. One obstacle is the lack of models and formalism to describe topology and service structures
