The paper introduces the TMN-based Information Model Simulator (TIMS) toolkit. a rapid-prototyping environment for TMN information models and explains how it is used in a real-life example. Based on GDMO/ASN.l, GRM and a formal behavior description, the toolkit generates TMN systems and allows both the visualization of Mms at run-time and the access to it through CMIP. Behavior of object models is described through the use of relationships which leads to considerable simplification of the behavior and is the frrst step for a distributed environment. Assertion mechanisms permit the designer to verify the correct state of the model at run-time. The paper publishes the results of the tools use for the specification of a management interface for the VS access network interface.
Abstract. In the current deregulated Telecom scenario the number of network operators and service providers is rapidly increasing. The resulting competition generates the need for a flexible resource management. In parallel, the fast growth of electronic commerce opens a new market where operators can offer network bandwidth commodities. In this dynamic context, the traditional architecture of Telecom networks needs to be evolved. The integration of economic principles with software technology is a strategic contribution to this evolution. In particular, market-skilled software agents seem to be one of the most promising paradigms. In this paper we describe an agent-based system for the e-commerce of "IP bandwidth", and we discuss how the integration of this system within a network management platform would automate the advertisement of Telecom goods, the monitoring of market trends, the pricing and the configuration of network resources.
