Abstract: An E2EO module stores action data which is linked to a condition relating to a combination of an operation status of a specific type of element and an operation status of another type of element linked to the specific type of element, and which indicates an action to be executed on the specific type of element that satisfies the condition. The E2EO module identifies, based on the current status indicated by the inventory data, a combination of a current operation status of the specific type of element included in the communication system and a current operation status of another type of element linked to the specific type of element. The E2EO module executes, when the identified combination satisfies the condition linked to the action data, the action indicated by the action data on the specific type of element.
