Problems solved by technology
As a consequence, Carriers, Service Providers (SPs) and Large Enterprises incur high ‘integration taxes’ and operation expenses (OpEx) to create, update, validate, integrate, deploy, activate and maintain the management interfaces, protocols and information models.
The multi-entry management points associated with the APIs may compromise the integrity, maintainability and effectiveness of the management solution.
The complexity of such a system further frustrates the ability of the system to provide rapid integration and management of end to end services.
In addition, it is difficult to perform fast and reliable service deployment, delivery and activation as well as fast service restoration and recovery, and effective and reliable problem notification mechanisms in such a system.
As the number and complexity of service offerings continues to increase, the problem of providing reliable and robust service delivery and service management increases.

Embodiment Construction
[0011]Referring now to FIG. 1, a management service externalization architecture 10 in which the present invention may be used, includes a functional component 20 which is used to control the delivery and deployment of one or more services or SCs to one or more registries, SEs, and NEs. Information content 30 is a repository of information records, resource models and operation models that are related to the services. Information delivery 40 includes a variety of protocols that may be used to deliver the information content to the functional components 20. Several embodiments of a service architecture such as that shown in FIG. 1 are described in co-pending patent application Ser. No. ______ filed ______, attorney docket number 120-442, by Fiszman et al, entitled “METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING DYNAMIC SELF-HEALING OF MULTI-MEDIA SERVICES,” (hereinafter Fiszman) incorporated herein by reference.
[0012]The Service Operations Center (SOC) of FIG. 1 is designed using an efficient, ro...

An architecture which permits externalized management of services includes a number of management service capability (MSC) definitions. Each operator may associate a management service capability with a Service / Service Capability for managing various aspects of the Service / Service Capability. An interface enables a variety of different management systems to utilize a common MSC structure, independent of the information models, transport mechanisms and management interface of the system using the MSC. With such an arrangement, management related integration costs associated with integrating and bundling complex multi-media services is significantly reduced.
Description
RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 944,565 filed Sep. 17, 2004, which claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §1.119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 549,505 filed Mar. 2, 2004.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates generally to the field of services and more particularly to a method and apparatus for externalizing management service capabilities in a services oriented architecture (SOA).BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Multi-telecom supporting domains such as Optical, Switching, Wireless, and Voice and data over IP depend upon a set of different information models, protocols and interfaces for their management. As a consequence, Carriers, Service Providers (SPs) and Large Enterprises incur high ‘integration taxes’ and operation expenses (OpEx) to create, update, validate, integrate, deploy, activate and maintain the management interfaces, protocols and information models. For example, present day m...
