"TINA-C
(Telecommunication Information Networking Architecture
Consortium) is a consortium formed by network operators,
telecommunications
equipment suppliers and computer suppliers working on
the definition of a
software architecutre to support the rapid a nd flexible
introduction of new
telecommunication services, as well as the ability to
manage these services
and the networks that support them in an integrated way."
[1]
TINA-C defines services based
on the TMN standards. A comparison of these
services to CORBA services can be found
here.
TINA-C also defines a distributed
processing environment (DPE) which
is similar to CORBA. However, it appears that TINA-C
is currently converging
on
CORBA as the DPE standard.
