A method to develop common management service in many management application programs based on management service specification using GDMO template

In the OSI (open systems interconnection) management system, many kinds of management application programs are developed in order to manage the communication networks. Therefore, it is necessary to develop applications efficiently. One of methods which develop applications efficiently is that the management system provides common functions to each application as a management service. We propose one method that develops the above management service. We define the management service as a function object. The management system executes the management service based on the management service specifications defined in the GDMO (Guidelines for the Definition of Managed Object) templates.
