Developing a managed system in a telecommunication management network

This paper concerns developing a managed system in a telecommunication management network. We suggest an overall architecture of a managed system and show how the proposed architecture can be implemented as a multi-threaded server. We analyze the weaknesses of the GDMO (Guidelines for the Definition of Managed Objects) in developing a managed system and propose three extensions to the GDMO to overcome these weaknesses. We mention how a managed object whose specification is given by our extended GDMO can be implemented. Finally we describe the development procedure and support tools for developing a managed system
