Abstract: The present invention provides for a method for allowing Applets to be resized independently from the WEB/HTML page they were created. The Applet is made “detachable”, from a user's point of view, from the WEB/HTML page it was initially created. Pushing a “detach” button creates a floating, independent window, extracts the Applet and places it in that new window. In the original Applet area, a “dock” button is displayed. After this transformation, it will be possible to move and resize the “independent Applet window” at will. However, by pushing the “dock” button, it is still possible to perform the opposite operation, i.e. to “dock” the Applet back on the original location, the WEB/HTML page.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for creating a protocol-independent manager/agent relationship, in a Network Management System of a telecommunication network. This is achieved by means of the creation of a meta-model as a result of CSG (CORBA Strategy Gateway) tool chain. It permits to have a generic skeleton based on XML (extensible Markup Language) as a reference for NM application starting points. This skeleton permits an application to be independent from NE-NM interface descriptions irrespective of the NE-NM model and version supported. The skeleton describes the different implementations using unified rules based on the W3 standardized XML commands.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a method for having the same interface family used to connect all possible kinds of network elements in a telecom network, by creating a CSG (CORBA Strategy Gateway) interface between Common Element Manager and Network Manager layers, to be protocol independent because, irrespective of the protocol used, the services provided are always the same. This generic layer will be used as a syntactical adaptation between NM and NE without taking into account the semantic of the exchanged messages.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for implementing a zero development WEB-based Graphical User Interface, in which an XML model coming from the protocol dependent MIB and automatically translated by the EM-NM MIB model is created. The XML model can be easily managed by an HTTP server and protocol, and displayed by a WEB browser, with no need to add any software.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a process for changing the language of a GUI application without exiting and reentering the application, which:
