Abstract
A flexible architecture for a telecommunications system is disclosed herein. Such architecture provides for different software layers, which include one or more software entities, based on a logical grouping of like or similar functions. For example, a call processing software layer, a resource software layer and a network management software layer may be provided to carry out particular operations. Further, the network management software layer may be divided into a client layer, which presents operations, administration and maintenance related information to a user for adaptation by the user, and a server layer, which stores and accesses operations, administration and maintenance related information. Object request broker technology is utilized to allow a software entity of one software layer to invoke operations associated with another software entity provided by another software layer.
