  • Element management system with data-driven interfacing driven by instantiation of meta-model
    Patent number: 7366989
    Abstract: A network element management system which can exploit the customized interface features of a variety of versions of a variety of complex system products from a variety of manufacturers. This is done by maintaining a meta-model, which is not itself a model until instantiated, of the possible known product configurations to be interfaced to. Once the meta-model is instantiated, it provides configuration parameters which the interface program uses to build a correct configuration for the management and/or monitoring interface. This is particularly advantageous in the preferred embodiment of a telecommunications network element management system, but also has potential applicability to other large “supersystem” applications.

  • Element management system with adaptive interface based on autodiscovery from element identifier
    Publication number: 20030133556
    Abstract: A network element management system which automatically configures itself, when an operator enters a component identifier, for optimal full-featured management of the identified component. This is preferably done by an autodiscovery process, and not by any mere lookup.
