Abstract

The Next Generation Operations Systems and Software (NGOSS) is a solution framework for the development of Operations Support System/Business Support Systems (OSS/BSS) in telecom companies. This paper presents an approach to OSS/BSS building which is based on a specific combination of Software Product Lines Engineering (SPLE) and NGOSS. The focus of this paper is the first phase in SPLE which deals with the identification and scoping of software product families required to build an OSS/BSS. We present a generic architecture of required product families as well as a methodological procedure for their identification and scoping. Both are based on Enhanced Telecom Operation Map (eTOM), a process framework defined within NGOSS.
