Abstract

The construction of systems for network management (NMS) is based on software components (hereunder referred to as "components"). Two types of component are used to build NMS: off-the-shelf components for general use, and customized components designed for a specific operator. However user requirements may also change after the user starts to use the NMS, and some components may be inadequate for these new requirements. In this paper, we propose components that enable functions provided by off-the-shelf components to be customized after NMS construction. We call these components RevCompo. RevCompo components intercept messages transmitted from or sent to an off-the-shelf component providing the functions to be customized. The RevCompo component in question then adds new data and/or procedures externally, or removes functions provided by the off-the-shelf component. Consequently, it is not necessary to change an off-the-shelf component in order to customize its function if RevCompo is installed. RevCompo makes it easier to satisfy user requirements when there are changes or modifications after the NMS construction stage.

一种无需修改现成组件即可定制网管功能的方法

网络管理系统(NMS)的构建基于软件组件(以下简称“组件”)。构建NMS使用两种类型的组件:一般使用的现成组件和为特定操作人员设计的定制组件。但是，在用户开始使用NMS之后，用户需求也可能发生变化，而某些组件可能无法满足这些新需求。在本文中，我们提出了能够在NMS构建后对现有组件提供的功能进行定制的组件。我们称这些组件为RevCompo。RevCompo组件拦截从提供要定制的功能的现成组件传输或发送到现成组件的消息。然后，所讨论的RevCompo组件在外部添加新数据和/或过程，或者删除现成组件提供的功能。因此，如果安装了RevCompo，则不需要更改现成的组件来定制其功能。RevCompo使得在NMS建设阶段之后，当有变化或修改时，更容易满足用户的需求。
