Object modelling for open network management
Colin Ashford · 2003
A comparison of the object model underpinning open systems interconnection (OSI) network management standards with that being developed for object-oriented software development systems indicates a close alignment between the models. But the OSI object-model goes further: it supports notions of asynchronously occurring events, concurrency, and optionality of implementation. These features are not found in the OMG object-model, but neither are they precluded. Consequently, the way is paved for network-management product suppliers to use OMG-conformant software-development systems.>
