Abstract
In the search for competitive advantage, network management systems are becoming increasingly important to public network operators. In an attempt to reduce the cost of management systems, the telecommunications community have, for many years, been working on the standardisation of interfaces between systems to encourage a multi-vendor environment. As the computing and telecommunications domains converge, there is now a possibility to use distributed object technology to increase the cost-effectiveness of management systems. This paper discusses experiences of using the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) as a basis for a public telecommunications network management system platform.
