초록

지금까지, 전기통신망과 장비들의 관리에 대해서는 많은 연구들이 진행되었지만, TMN 상위 계층의 서비스 관리와 비즈니스 관리에 대한 연구는 많이 수행되지 못했다. 최근 전세계적으로 TMN 상위 계층의 관리기능 구현을 위해서 CORBA 기술을 적용하고자하는 관심이 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는, 정보모델과 상호운용에 관한 TMN과 CORBA의 주요특징들을 비교하고, TMN 프레임웍와 효율적인 CORBA 기술 연동을 위한 플랫폼 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 구조에서, TMN 관리 정보를 CORBA IDL 인터페이스로 변환해주는 GDMO/ASN.1 - CORBA IDL 변환기가 고안, 구현되었고, JIDM의 상호 작용 변환의 구현을 위해서 TMN/CORBA 게이트웨이 또한 고안되었다. 그리고 이러한 기능의 확장을 위해서 모듈 형식으로 라이브러리들과 코드 생성기들이 설계, 구현되었다.Abstract Up to now, a lot of efforts have been made for the management of telecommunication networks and equipment, but less effort has been made for the realization of higher-layer service and business management. There are recently worldwide growing interests for applying CORBA technology for the realization of higher layer Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) management functions. In this paper, we compare the features of TMN and CORBA with respect to information model, and operational behavior. And then, we propose a platform architecture for the efficient integration of CORBA technology within TMN framework. Within platform architecture, GDMO/ASN.1 to IDL translator has been designed and implemented for translating TMN management information into CORBA IDL interface. The TMN/CORBA gateway is also designed for realization of the interaction translation specification of JIDM task force. The libraries and code generators have been designed and implemented in a modular fashion to provide the functional extensibility.
