Windows 2000 is designed to appeal to small business <strong>and</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional users as<br />

well as to the more technical <strong>and</strong> larger business market for which the NT was<br />

designed.<br />

9.3.3 The WINMAN Implementation<br />

In the WINMAN implementation, each partner used the operating system that<br />

he or she preferred. The integration <strong>of</strong> the s<strong>of</strong>tware was done on a Windows<br />

2000 operating system due to the simplicity <strong>of</strong> the operating system <strong>and</strong> to the<br />

fact that it is portable <strong>and</strong> could be installed <strong>and</strong> operated using a laptop.<br />

The WINMAN consortium decided to follow the trend in commercial<br />

network management applications <strong>and</strong> made a UNIX implementation <strong>of</strong> the<br />

system. This decision will significantly ease the exploitation plans <strong>of</strong> commercial<br />

partners, as the solution adopted resembles very closely what a network operator<br />

would actually deploy as a management system.<br />

Therefore, the WINMAN solution is also ported completely to UNIX <strong>and</strong><br />

can be used on both operating systems.<br />

9.4 Programming Languages<br />

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is organized around objects rather than<br />

actions <strong>and</strong> data rather than logic. OOP allows the descr<strong>ip</strong>tion <strong>of</strong> the problem<br />

in terms <strong>of</strong> the problem, instead <strong>of</strong> in terms <strong>of</strong> the computer where the solution<br />

will run.<br />
