“…Consequently, we propose an agent-based network architecture that is a compatible natural extension of the network architecture supporting mobile IP [3]. In addition, this architecture is also consistent with the principles of the emerging telecommunications information networking architecture (TINA) [13], and is amenable to implementation using the common object request broker architecture (CORBA) [14], [15]. This facilitates convergence of UPC with UPT in the future.…”

Abstract-This paper presents a new paradigm for network computing over the Internet called universal personal computing, where mobile users can access computing resources, network services, and personalized computing environments anywhere using any available terminals. The user and system requirements are defined, and an agent-based protocol architectural required to manage different mobile objects, i.e., users and terminals, in this computing environment is presented. Modifications of connection setup procedures between user application programs to enable addressing based on a global user identity are considered. The use of personal agents to facilitate interworking and management functions is proposed.

The Telecommunications Information Networking Architecture (TINA) is based on object orientation and distributed computing. It is intended to allow a rapid and flexible development of new applications on all kinds of software and hardware platforms. In this paper we investigate the performance and capacity in a TINA network that supports one simple telephone service. Specifically, we examine how the network performance is affected by the distribution of computational objects among the physical nodes. We show that the distribution of objects has a significant effect on both the maximum allowed arrival rate and the mean set up time for a service. Also, we show that the heavy signalling needed to set up a service may result in performance problems in a TINA network. IntroductionThe interaction of computers and telephony is a growing market and there are many manufacturers and operators. In the future the market will demand new telecom applications at an even faster rate. Further, in a deregulated market the "network provider" and the "service provider" roles must be clearly separated. Therefore, there is a need for a telecom architecture that allows both multiple service vendors and multiple network providers. The architecture must allow a rapid and easy development of new applications on all kinds of hardware and software platforms. TINA (Telecommunications InformationNetworking Architecture) addresses these issues. TINA is developed by a consortium which includes network operators and telecommunication and computer equipment suppliers.The foundation of TINA is object orientation and distributed computing. Services that may be provided by a TINA system include voice-based services, interactive multi-media services, information services and management services. TINA is intended to be an open architecture without restrictions on service types. There have been many earlier papers and reports concerning TINA. A number of reports have of course been produced by the TINA Consortium (see, for example, Minerva l6] defined a modular and open infrastructure for services. Broek et a1 [71 presented a survey of the impact of terminal mobility on TINA. Carrasco et a1 [ ' I built a TINA-like Distributed Processing Environment based on CORBA technology. Minetti and Utsunomiya [ ' I describe a generic TINA service that also is used in this paper.However, none of these papers concern the performance and capacity of a TINA network. Previous work on Intelligent Networks and Mobile Networks, two other distributed networks, has clearly shown the necessity of investigating the performance 0-7803-4198-8/97/$10.00 0 1997 IEEE in such networks (see, for example, [101-[131). So far, only one paper has addressed these issues. Parhar and Rumsewicz [14] took a first look at some of the performance issues in TINA.In this paper we develop a simulation model that can be used to investigate the performance in a TINA network. Further, a detailed signalling pattern of a generic TINA service is implemented and the performance in a network with six phy...
