1. Introduction

When creating a telecommunication network management system (TNMS), the question arises of choosing a rational version of its structure. Its solution is based on the use of the principles of structuring and consistency of tasks and the structure of the management system.

​

Structuring operational tasks creates the best conditions for achieving the goals of system management. It is carried out on the basis of minimizing the amount of duplicate information received for processing by each official or individual structural unit.

​

The report considers one of the possible approaches to solving the issues of task allocation in the telecommunications network management system, taking into account the connections between them.

2. Structuring of management tasks

Criteria for the structuring of tasks:

  1. the set of tasks should reflect the nature of their representation in the set of cause-and-effect relationships and correspond to the form of the hierarchical organization of the management system;
  2. tasks should not violate the integrity of its organizational structure and should provide the necessary degree of purposefulness of its functioning.

7. Conclusions

An approach to the distribution of tasks between the levels of management of a telecommunication network is considered. An algorithm for vertical structuring of tasks in telecommunication network management system (TNMS) control systems is presented. This algorithm makes it possible to effectively distribute tasks by management levels based on the analysis of information flows and the hierarchy of goals, as well as to synthesize the organizational structure of the TNMS as a whole.

An algorithm for horizontal structuring of tasks is also provided, which allows automating the process of forming various options for the spheres of activity of officials in the organizational structure at each level of the hierarchy. At the same time, the nature of the mutual relations of tasks is taken into account, which reflect the target orientation of the organizational structure. The variants of structuring tasks obtained as a result of generation serve as a further oriented basis for the selection of appropriate structures for the organization of activities of the structural elements of the TNMS and allow to exclude from consideration the variants of organizational structures that do not correspond to the structure of tasks that are solved in the management system.
