Abstract

A communication network operations center (NOC) management system. The system comprises a network equipment performance data store, an equipment fault data store, an equipment inventory data store, an equipment trouble history data store, and a knowledge data store. The system further comprises a computer system that executes a NOC management application. The NOC management application opens new network equipment trouble cases and analyzes the trouble cases based on data in the data stores. Based on the analysis, the application identifies an information pattern shared by the new trouble case and a resolved trouble case stored in the history data store. The application automatically executes a control command on a network equipment item identified in the new network equipment trouble case based on a resolution action identified in the resolved trouble case stored in the history data store with the shared information pattern.
