Abstract
This paper discusses a methodology for the design of interoperable net work management solutions based on the business process needs of a tel ecommunications network and/or service provider. The methodology is de rived from open distributed processing (ODP), and allows a top-down re finement of operational needs down to system specifications in a step- by step approach. It is illustrated by means of a simplified real-life example (ISDN provisioning).
