Status

| Network
Management |
1)
Liaise with other standards (T1M1, ETSI, ITU-T,
3GPP, ATM-F, TMF (CASMIM and MTMN) which are
all in the process of standardising CORBA
based frameworks for Network Management and
bring them OMG members expertise.
2) Study and develop new CORBA generic
services to provide the framework support to
network management standards |
1)Unify
the standardisation of CORBA in network
management to guarantee standard consitency.
2) Evolving the CORBA software to provide
middleware support for fast network management
solutions development. |
T1M1/ITU-T/ETSI
have defined a framework for introducing CORBA
at fine grain level and a second standard at
coarse grain level. Additionnal CORBA generic
services should be developed to support this
framework. |
| NGOSS |
The telemanagement Forum and OMG
telecom task force have comon standardisation
actions for sharing the same information
model. |
Define a PIM standard for NGOSS. |
1) a white paper corresponding
to the TMF SID information model has been
endorsed by the Telecom DTF.
2) Planned white paper endorsement on "MDA
and NGOSS", SID V3 and eTOM V2. |
| Mobility
services in CORBA |
Provide
support for Mobility in CORBA |
1)
Provide mechanisms in the CORBA core for
support of mobility (terminal, personnal).
2) Provide a generic standardised architecture
for mobility support on CORBA |
1)
a RFP might be issued on "Efficient data
representation for low bandwidth
communication" |
| Generic
CORBA services for telecom |
This
topic covers CORBA generic services for
telecom such as the notification service or
the Logging Service. |
1)
Upgrading generic services already used to
better fit telecom requirements.
2) develop new services to fulfil the telecom
needs
3) Develop interoperability at CORBA service
level to cope with different existing
technologies |
1)
RFp issued on "UML profile and Metamodel
for voiced based application"
.
|
| CORBA core platform evolution |
This topic covers extensions to
the CORBA core platform to better fit telecom
requirements. An example of this is
"Extensible transport Framework"
recent adopted RFP. |
1) Complete the CORBA core to
better fit telecom requirements.
2) Bring to the OMG telecom experience on well
known telecom technologies (E.g. in protocols,
management or deployment of large application)
3) adapt CORBA to integrate the telecom
legacy. |
1) A white paper on CORBA
management is ongoing
2) RFPs on "Stream for CCM and QoS
for CCM" are ongoing to complete the
specification on CORBA component.
3) RFP on "WSDL to C++ mapping" is
considered |
| Software engineering for telecom |
1) Define a set of requirement
on UML for telecom applications
2) Specify UML profiles for telecom and
features to be included in the UML
infrastructure for their support.
3) Complete UML interchange standard
4) Link with ITU-T SG17 |
The telecom industry has a long
experience in using specification language for
software engineering. SDL has been extensively
used to express the complexity and large size
of telecom applications. The telecom industry
should prepare the migration from SDL to UML
and brings its experience with specifying
real-time constraints to get new UML tools for
telecom applications. |
1) A RFP might be issued on telecom profile
for UML. |
