Building telecommunications management applications with CORBA

CORBA is an architecture for distributing and modeling computing applications. CORBA based network management is certainly an attractive approach, as network management is in essence a distributed application. This article presents a model of Managed Objects as CORBA objects, and how CORBA services and facilities can be used to build management applications. Special attention is paid to the work that has been done in the context of TINA-C (i.e., the session model and the Distributed Management Facilities Architecture).
