APPENDIXI-Bibliography Abstract
Specifies guidelines for defining CORBA-based interfaces to software objects representing manageable resources in a TMN. Covers information modelling guidelines, rules for translating models from GDMO, and IDL style conventions. Also provides an IDL module defining data types, superclasses, and notifications to be used in CORBA-based information model specifications.
