Just wanted to post a note that Dr. Craig Gallen and myself will be at the TM Forum Management World conference in Orlando this week.

The TM Forum organizes proof of concept demonstrations called “catalysts”. We are participating in one with the auspicious name of “Alarm Management for Converged Networks”. For several years now we have been supporting the development of standardized management interfaces, and this catalyst will demonstrate one for dealing with alarms across large, diverse networks.

The main sponsors are Deutsche Telecom, T-Mobile, Vodafone and D2 GmbH. We are participating along with Comarch, HP, and Netage Solutions to demonstrate an implementation of the new interfaces.

Drop me a note if you happen to be at the conference, and I hope to see you there.
