Abstract

Abstract A technique is provided for controlling and managing processes or systems such as a communications network. The process or system is modelled in memory in object oriented form. Each resource of the process of system has a corresponding field in the model which can be composed of data and executable code. Inter-relationships between fields within the model are designed to correspond relationships between the resources in the process or system. When the system or process changes, this change is communicated to the model, causing changes to be made in the data in the corresponding fields and possibly causing the execution of code to cause corresponding changes to associated interrelated resources in the process or system and their corresponding fields within the model. In this way, a reel time model of the process or system is maintained, and changes to the process or system can be addressed directly to the model, which will provide the appropriate changes to the process or system.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 90 words
A system for managing and interacting with a system having a plurality of resources, comprising : means (12) for receiving status signals relative to the resources of the system ; means (20) for maintaining an object oriented model of the system, the model being composed of fields (24) having data corresponding to the resources of the system, wherein when said receiving means receives a signal from a resource of the system indicating a change in the resource, data in the fields corresponding to the resource is changed in the model.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 40 words
A system according to claim 1, wherein said modelling means further comprises executable codes (24) associated with the fields, wherein the executable codes may be triggered when a change is made to data in a corresponding one of the fields.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 53 words
A system according to claim 2, wherein said system further comprises applications (30) for modifying the system, said applications communicating with said modelling means to change data in the fields so as to trigger associated executable code associated with the field to cause the desired change to both the model and the system.
