Abstract
The importance of integrated management stems from the vision of merging telecommunications and distributed computing systems management within the same framework, rapid globalization of world enterprises, and the pressing need for networks and services to be more responsive to "end users." This paper proposes an integrated and distributed management platform which is in line with, but not limited to, the integration of DME, OSI, TMN, and ODP principles. Furthermore, it focuses on a specific layer of the platform describing formally (i) the management domain and management policy concepts; (ii) the services which manage and enforce them; (iii) the performance policy enforcement service; and (iv) how to build-up policy hierarchies. In addition, this paper defines an Intelligent Multimedia Message Handling System (IM3HS) and depicts the high applicability of the domain and policy concepts to its management. Finally, an integrated management architecture for the IM3HS, as well as implementation issues of the IM3HS distributed management platform services are presented.
