Element Management is concerned with managing network elements on the network element management layer (NEL) of the TMN (Telecommunications Management Network). An Element Management system (EMS) manages one or more of a specific type of telecommunications network elements (NE).
Manages functions and capabilities within each NE but does not manage the traffic between different NEs in the network.
Provides foundation to implement TMN – layered operations support systems (OSS) architectures for better operability and meeting stringent QoS requirements.
OSS Interoperability between EMS and NMS has reached great heights with the introduction of CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture)

Famous quotes containing the words element and/or management:
“All forms of beauty, like all possible phenomena, contain an element of the eternal and an element of the transitory—of the absolute and of the particular. Absolute and eternal beauty does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction creamed from the general surface of different beauties. The particular element in each manifestation comes from the emotions: and just as we have our own particular emotions, so we have our own beauty.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“The care of a house, the conduct of a home, the management of children, the instruction and government of servants, are as deserving of scientific treatment and scientific professors and lectureships as are the care of farms, the management of manure and crops, and the raising and care of stock.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
