This subject is designed for telecommunications engineers working with telecommunications carriers and suppliers of hardware and software infrastructure that supports the provision of telecommunications services to clients. It begins with a historical overview of the evolution of telecommunications networks with particular emphasis on the deregulated environment that has been the characteristic of the last decade. The role of standards making bodies to ensure inter-operability is highlighted. The bulk of the subject examines the technical details of particular standards such as SNMP, TMN and CORBA. The subject concludes with an examination of future challenges associated with the operation of very large-scale distributed systems and a look at current vendor solutions.

Assessment: Two assignments (10 per cent each), major project (30 per cent), examination (50 per cent).
