Module Objective:
This course provides a broad and comprehensive study of fundamental work on the
management concept, architecture, protocols, models and technologies of networks and
services. A comprehensive analysis of the different frameworks developed by standardisation
groups such as IEEE, ISO/ITU-T, TeleManagement Forum, DMTF. It will also introduce some
design approaches for developing management services and technology in real infrastructure
in term of operations support systems (OSS).
