heal.abstract	Telecommunications Information Networking Architecture (TINA) provides an architecture based on distributed computing technologies to enable telecommunications networks to support the flexible introduction and operation of new advanced services and to manage both the services and the network in an integrated fashion. While the service operation and management aspects are well advanced, network management aspects are less well defined. Resource Configuration Management (RCM) is one of the most important management areas as it covers, among others, the management of static topology and dynamic connectivity resources; these are both fundamental to the operation of TINA services. In this paper we present first an analysis of RCM, which results in introducing a new domain that deals with the configuration of management resources, in addition to network, service and computing resources. We then present a generic model for configuration management computational entities; this separates specific task-oriented aspects from generic resource representations accessed in a flexible fashion. The generic computational interface and relevant methodology for representing and accessing resources are influenced from OSI/TMN design principles, but make use of the TINA ODP-based Distributed Processing Environment (DPE). Based on this generic model, we present an RCM system architecture that deals with network and management resources. Parts of the latter have been verified through a prototype implementation in the context of a real field trial.	en
