Title:
New Generation OSS (NGOSS) with applications in  VoIP, Mobile and WIFI

Abstract

The next generation network changes at a much faster rate then the still
current switched based networks with increasing deployment of IP based
intelligent network components. The NGOSS framework must therefore be capable
of supporting the rapid deployment of these new technologies and supporting the
changes of operation with a minimal impact on the OSSs and the service
provider's customers.  Creating a customer centric network is the aim of
service providers. A customer centric network must be user definable and
resource ready. This business goal introduces many operational challenges for
service providers with large existing customer bases. A system built with
standardized interfaces and reusable components is the industry answer to these
challenges. If a system is required to interact with other systems in a
consistent manner, standardized interfaces and a well understood information
model are essential.
