Abstract
This paper presents a methodology for thespecification and design of multi-domain managementsystems that control, monitor and administer users andservices in a distributed telecommunication environment. It presents a framework, which serves as ablueprint for the design and implementation ofdistributed management applications. It defines a set ofconcepts and methods for guiding the analysis, design, and implementation phases of managementapplications, which are distributed over heterogeneoussystems. The framework is based on concepts ofTelecommunications Management Networks and OpenDistributed Processing, and is partially developed withinthe Pan-European Reference Configuration for IBC(Integrated Broadband Communication) Services Management(PRISM) project.
