Abstract
The presence of dissimilar network models and standards necessitates interoperability as a means of achieving ubiquitous connectivity and management. The primary focus of this paper is to identify interoperability issues, independent of the network management model, which form the basis for developing interworking paradigms. Network Management and Interoperability related concepts and terminology are introduced and a generic network management framework is presented. Based on the generic framework, interoperability issues for developing paradigms are identified systematically. Different paradigms for interoperability are described and compared. The techniques used by these paradigms in addressing the issues identified are discussed.
