Objectives of this Presentation

• Provide an Overview of TINA Results transferred
  to Standard Bodies
• Secure platform to keep TINA Specifications
• Ensure the effectiveness of TINA Technologies

3
Collaborating Standard Bodies

• TINA-C has been contributing to many Leading
  Standard Bodies. They include

• The Object Management Group OMG
• TINA-C has Cross Membership with OMG.
• TeleManagement Forum TMF
• The International Telecommunication
  Union-Telecommunication Sector ITU-T
• Study Group 10 Telecommunication Languages and
  Software
• Study Group 11 Signalling
• 3rd Generation Partnership Project 3GPP in
  collaboration with European Telecommunication
  Standard InstituteETSI (SPAN3)

Overview of the Achievement OMG

• TINA Access Session and Consumer-Retailer RfP
  Specifications have been reflected to an OMG
  Standard named as Telecommunications Service
  Access and Subscription facility (TSAS)
  developed by the Telecom Domain TF.
• Through the merging process for TSAS, TINA
  Results has also been reflected to the
  corresponding Parlay Specification.
• A White Paper for Open Services Marketplace (OSM)
  RFI was created reflecting TINA results by the
  active involvement of TINA-C members.
• TINA ODL highlighted the Telecom Requirements for
  the Object Interfaces, and they are reflected in
  CORBA Component Model (CCM) approved this year.

Overview of the Achievement ITU-T

• Achievements in ITU-T SG10
• SG10 approved in 1999 the Object Definition
  Language as Z.130, based on TINA-C ODL.
• SG10 will approve DPE Architecture as Z.600,
  based on the TINA DPE Architecture this November.

• Achievements in ITU-T SG11
• SG11 approved two Supplements covering TINA
  Business Model, TINA-C Service Architecture, Ret
  specification in its Q.1 for Signalling and
  Protocol Framework for Evolving Environment
  (SPFEE).
• SG11 also approved a Supplement (TRQ.2001)
  including TINA's "session" definitions and
  Business Model in its Q.6 for B-ISDN Signaling
  Requirements.

Overview of the Achievement 3GPP and TMF

• Achievements in 3GPP
• 3GPP in cooperation with ETSI SPAN3 approved Open
  Service Architecture (OSA) containing
  specification relevant to OMGs
  Telecommunications Service Access and
  Subscription facility (TSAS) which is reflecting
  TINA Access Session and Consumer-Retailer RfP
  specification.

• Achievement in TMF
• The collaboration work plan is in preparation,
  including mapping between TINA business model and
  TMF business process, connection mgmt and
  reference points, and IP control mgmt issues.

Ongoing Activities

• OMG will continue to be a center of TINA-based
  Standard development in many areas including
  TINA Service Architecture and Reference Points
  Specification, Resource Architecture, Computing
  Architecture and Compliance Testing framework
  (CAT).
• SG10 will continue to standardize "DPE
  architecture. It will also foster the CAT Work
  with broader scope.
• In 3GPP, TINA TSAS was reflected to OSA of
  Release 99. Reflection of TINA SA to Release
  00 is ongoing.

10
Ongoing Activities (continued)

• SG11 proposed API/Object Interface as a new
  Question. It will foster the following
  activities
• Creation of Roadmap on related activities/results
• TINA-related activities/results will be
  contributed to the SG11 Nov./Dec. 2000 meeting
• It will refer the work of 3GPP OSA ETSI SPAN3
• IETF is developing standards influenced by TINA
  results
• TINA Business Model is identified beneficial for
  the work done within e.g. IETF Policy Framework
  WG.
• Activity on Network Information Model based on
  the TINA NRIM has also been initiated.
• TMF is developing standards covering Service
  Management and DPE

New Question K API/Object Interface (OI) and
Architecture for Signalling proposed by SG11
What new Recommendations, new Supplements and
what enhancements to existing Recommendations and
Supplements are required in order to

• Provide a cohesive Signaling Architecture for
• Importing the results on API/OI of activities
  outside of SG11
• Developing specific APIs/OI not being covered by
  outside activities
• Provide a Roadmap capturing the tasks and the
  results of all API/Object Interface-related
  activities outside of the ITU-T
• Define API/Object interface based specifications
  for those areas where urgent need is identified
• This may include a possible reference to all or
  part of the results of other standardization
  bodies in a co-operative way, if appropriate.

Conclusion

• Wide-spread TINA Technologies have been serving
  as a basis for the creation of a number of new
  standards by leading bodies including OMG and
  ITU-T.
• A number of activities are still going on to
  develop new standards based on TINA Results.
  Emerging new standards include those for 3rd
  generation mobile communication systems by 3GPP
  and TMF for Telecommunication Management.
• One can conclude that TINA-C results have
  contributed significantly to laying the
  foundation for the Info-communication Networking
  Architecture and have been successfully
  transferred to appropriate standard bodies.

16
My personal conclusion
Standards are, in reality, driven by individuals.
Achievements introduced have been made by a
number of dedicated contributors including

• OMG Marcel Mampaey, Mike Schenk, Hendrik
  Berndt
• SG10 Anastasius Gavras, Tolga Yalcinkaya
• SG11 Hidetsugu Kobayashi, Rolfe Buhrke,
  Kenichi Kitami
• 3GPP Chelo Abarca
• TMF Takeo Hamada
• IETF Leif Byström
