For the management of public telecommunication networks TMN (Telecommunications Management Network) receives a wide acceptance
from network operators and suppliers. Although TMN defines different layers going from the service oriented Business layer
towards the Element layer, it is currently very much focused on network and element management. On the other hand TINA (Telecommunications
Information Networking Architecture) integrates the service management layers with the network management layers in a coherent
way relying on a distributed software execution platform (DPE). This paper focuses on possible interworking schemes between
both architectures where the strong elements of each are combined: TINA for the service management and TMN for the network
management. Several candidate interworking/ migration schemes between CORBA/IDL and CMISE/GDMO are investigated in the context
of a concrete implementation, namely the interworking between a TMN platform based on HP OpenView and the TINA compliant platform
developed in the context of the ACTS VITAL project.
