面向服务的网络管理机制的建模方法

Service-Oriented Modeling Methods of Network Management Mechanisms

针对目前以面向对象的方法描述的网络管理机制仅仅关注管理操作细节的局限性,该文提出以服务的概念建模网络管理机制,扩展了对操作机制的商务过程特性、流程和策略等方面内容的描述能力。首先,通过建立网络管理功能、商务过程元素以及网络管理服务三者间的对应关系,使网络管理服务兼具操作细节和商务过程两方面的内容。然后,提出了包括服务接口、信息、语义、流程和策略的网络管理服务描述内容以及一种自顶向下和自底向上相结合的网络管理服务分析过程,并进行了举例说明。以面向服务的方法描述网络管理操作机制,符合面向客户和商务过程的电信运营策略,支持自动和灵活的运营过程,并可以有效指导网络管理及运营支撑系统的分析、设计、实施和集成。

While the current object oricented-based description of management operation mechanisms only focuses on operation-level details, the service-oriented methods are proposed, which can improve the description capability with contents involving business process characteristics, process flow and policy. At first, the relationships between network management functions, business process elements, and network management services are built, which provides network management services with meanings on both operation-level details and business process. Then, the description mechanisms of a service involving service interfaces, information, semantics, processes and policies, as well as a combined top-down and bottom-up network management service modeling process are proposed. At last, an example illustrating the above description aspects and analysis process is also provided. The proposed description methods support the business and customer oriented telecom operation strategy, and can effectively instruct the analysis, design, implementation and integration of network management or operation supporting systems.
