Abstract
The liberation of telecommunication services provision worldwide will require an intensive co-operation between telecommunication operator to provide new types of end to end telecommunication services. However, the heterogeneity between service management systems is critical and makes an end to end service management very complex. Thus, it is important to define mechanisms that permit to hide this heterogeneity and permit the exchange of management information between domain and to distribute the control over various underlying sub management systems. This work analyses the use of mobile agents and co-operative remote objects as forms to implement the co-operative management model that permit delegation and co-operation between management domains. In fact, delegation paradigm and mobile agents technology provides a powerful framework that helps the interoperability between telecommunication management systems for the support of end to end service management.
