Network Component Specifications Version: 2.2,
Date December. 20, 1997

This document contains the computational specification of the components identified by the TINA Network Resource Architec-ture. 
The work is part of the TINA-C specification effort and as such an element in the TINA-C architecture. This document is intended to replace the 1995 Connection Management Specifica-tions document.

Service Architecture Version: 5.0, Date: 18 June 1997

This document defines the TINA Service Architecture. The architecture consists of a set of concepts, principles, rules and guidelines for constructing, deploying, operating and withdrawing TINA services. It also describes the environment in which such services operate. The service architecture identifies the components to build services, describes the way they are combined, and the way they interact.
One of the main separations described is the separation of access and usage, and within usage the separation of sercice session and communication session.
The access and service sessions are defined to work across multple domains, thus allowing retailers and third party service providers to offer compound services in a business environment.

Network Resource Architecture Version: 3.0, Date: 10 February 1997

This document specifies basic separations used in the control and management of TINA Network Resource functions. A reusable group of technology-independent components is described to perform these functions. The work is part of the TINA-C specification effort and as such an element in the TINA-C architecture. This document is intended to replace the 1994 Connection Management Architecture Baseline.

Service Component Specification-Part B (Computational Model & Dynamics) Version: 1.0

This document defines the computational model and dynamics for the TINA Service Component Specifications. The document should be seen as partly a proposal for structuring the internals of specific business administrative domains, and as such, complimentary to the inter-domain reference points, and partly as an aid to understand the interactions occuring across inter domain reference points. All component are described in plain language and specified in ODL and IDL. Several scenarios are given in order to show the dynamic behaviour of the components.

Network Resource Information Model Specification Version: 2.2 draft baseline, 14 November 1997

This document presents information objects and relationships needed for network resource management functions in the areas of Connection Management, Resource Configuration Management, Fault Management, and Accounting Management. The information model presented is independent of any specific functional architecture of the management functions. The information model is transmission and switching technology independent. It describes a network abstractly in terms of network elements, aggregations of network elements, the topological relationship between the elements, endpoints of connections, and connections. In addition, the model defines management support objects for alarm surveillance, resource configuration, and accounting. The information model is specified using the OMT notation and Quasi-GDMO+GRM.

Business Model and Reference Points Version: 4.0, Date: 22 May 1997

This document describes the business model framework and its application to create the TINA reference points. It includes the definitions as well as a list of the initial TINA business roles and relationships. It also defines the template for the specification of a reference point, as well as important concepts like contracts, delegation and profiles of reference points used in the application of reference points.

Information Modeling Concepts Version: 2.0

This document defines a set of concepts to be used in information modeling within TINA that is in line with the spirit of ODP. It also discusses the purpose and scope of information modelling and explains how an information specification is related to the specifications of the other TINA viewpoints, in particular, the computational viewpoint. The document proposes enhancements to ODP in parts where ODP is not detailed or comprehensive enough and provides guidelines based on different approaches to information modeling.

Computational Modelling Concepts Version: 3.2, Date: May 1996

This document describes the TINA-C Computational Modelling Concepts. These concepts provide the framework for the computational specification of distributed telecommunications applications. They provide the framework for describing an application in terms of computational entities that interact with each other, with discrete communication as well as continuous media communication.

ODL Manual Version: 2.3

This document presents the TINA Object Definition Language (ODL). ODL is a language used to specify applications in the computational viewpoint of TINA. It is a superset of OMG IDL. ODL enables the specification of computational objects comprising operational and stream interfaces, as well as the specification of aggregations of computational objects into object groups. Additional features of the language include inheritance, quality of service specification and interface trading support.

Guidelines into TINA see: Overall Concepts and Principles of TINA. Date: February 1995

This document presents the overall concepts and principles of the TINA-C architecture. It attempts to condense into one document the key ideas of the TINA architecture to answer the question "what in essence is a TINA system". It does not give any justification, background or history for any concept or principle, as these can be found in other baseline documents. For the same reason the goals and requirements of the architecture are not given.
