An advanced management architecture for IN

To provide various advanced telecommunications services and to enhance their operations, it is necessary to introduce a flexible and adaptable architecture on the Intelligent Network (IN). IN may be seen as one of the most innovative concepts of that last decade, if this flexibility and adaptability may be achieved. One way to reach such a goal is to introduce some intelligence. In that way, we propose a new management architecture for IN introducing concepts from the field of Distributed Artificial Intelligence.
