Workshop - SDF NGOSS

The SDF-NGOSS Workshop provides students with practical guidance for introducing and managing SDF in an NGOSS environment.

Title Day
SDF Impact on NGOSS Frameworks, Contracts and Interfaces

Wednesday, July 2, 2008 - 8am - 12pm (approx)

       
Level Introductory / Intermediate Length  Half day
 
Who should attend? Pre-requisites
Service Providers, Systems Integrators and Independent Software Vendors planning introduction of SDF solutions in an NGOSS environment, or planning to extend NGOSS implementation beyond SDF.

Previous attendance at the TM Forum Service Delivery Platforms Summit is required; previous attendance at the TM Forum Service Delivery Framework Overview training is preferred.

 
Technology covered
TM Forum NGOSS Frameworks, NGOSS Contracts, and Interfaces, addressing issues in introducing SDF operationally.
 
Upon completion, delegates will be able to:
  • Articulate key aspects of the TM Forum NGOSS Frameworks (eTOM, SID, TAM, TNA);
  • Relate the NGOSS Frameworks to the SDF Reference Framework and to a practical SDF implementation;
  • Be aware of the state of the art of the NGOSS Frameworks;
  • Be aware of likely changes to the NGOSS Frameworks resulting from progress in SDF implementation;
  • Articulate key aspects of NGOSS Contracts, including the relationship to SOA;
  • Relate the use of NGOSS Contracts to a practical SDF implementation;
  • Articulate key aspects of the TM Forum Interface Program (TIP) and its products;
  • Relate the use of TIP interfaces to a practical SDF implementation;
  • Relate the concepts of catalogues and meta-models to NGOSS Frameworks, Contracts and Interfaces.
 
Agenda:

Unit 1: SDF Impact on NGOSS Frameworks 

  • Review of the NGOSS Frameworks, emphasizing the interactions between them;
  • Analysis of the impact of SDF evolution on NGOSS Frameworks.

Unit 2: Implementation Considerations

  • Introduction and review of key NGOSS Contract concepts, including the convergence of NGOSS Frameworks in Contracts;
  • Analysis of the relationships between SDF and NGOSS Contracts;
  • Introduction and review of key TM Forum Interface Program (TIP) concepts;
