Abstract:
A system for managing information related to a signaling network, the signaling network including plural network elements generating plural network events, the system comprising:network event receiving means coupled to said network elements for receiving said network events, said network events received by said network event receiving means including topology information;network event standardizing means responsive to events received by said network event receiving means for converting the received network events to standard form;network event correlating means responsive to the standard form events for correlating the standard form events;a network maintenance scheduling system with an output to said network event correlating means, said network event correlating means correlates network events with network maintenance scheduling information;display means for displaying correlated standard form events;a network topology data base storing information related to network topology;means responsive to said network topology data base for creating standard form events from said network topology data base; andmeans coupling said created standard form events to said network event correlating means.
