Abstract: Various example embodiments for supporting management of a communication device are presented. Various example embodiments for supporting management of a communication device based on a management model may support management of the communication device based on a management model that includes multiple data models configured to model objects representing elements of the communication device. Various example embodiments for supporting management of a communication device based on a management model may support management of the communication device based on a management model that includes multiple data models configured to support, for a given object representing an element of the communication device, association of sets of instance data generated for the object based on the multiple data models such that the communication device knows to apply the sets of instance data to the underlying operational object instance for the given object representing the element of the communication device.

Abstract: Various example embodiments for supporting management of a communication device are presented. Various example embodiments for supporting management of a communication device based on a management model may be configured to support management of the communication device based on a management model that includes multiple data models configured to model objects representing elements of the communication device.

Abstract: In one aspect, a system and method includes modeling in a common representation network element commands, events and data from a plurality of sources. The method also includes translating data represented in a first modeling language to data represented in a second modeling language for storing the data in the second modeling language in a global data model repository and automatically generating code to support external management interface based on the stored data in the global repository.

Abstract: In one aspect a system and method includes receiving user-input configuration changes to a configuration file and tracking the configuration changes in multiple independent edit views. The method also includes updating an active-edit view to include configuration changes of a single independent edit view, and updating a configuration database that stores the configuration files, according to configuration changes in the active edit view.
