Open Operations Support systems
The OpenOSS site provides a public open source collaborative environment for developers working on implementations of interface standards for Operations Support Systems (OSS) used by the Telecommunications industry.The present focus is on OSS interface standards proposed by the Telemanagement Forum (www.tmforum.org).
These standards include OSS trough Java (OSS/J) and MTOSI which have been consolidated under the Telemanagement Forum Interface Program (TIP)
The site has hosted a number of previous open source activities. These (mostly experimental) open source projects have been conducted over the last 4 years within the context of the TM Forum and the University of Southampton. For more information see the Experimental page.
The present focus is on hosting TIP Open Source Implementation project. This project is developing a framework for specifying and implementing the latest interfaces being standardised by TIP. For more information see the TIP Open Source Program page.
