In recent years, telecommunication industries are rushing into "Multi" world such as multi-vendor, multi-service provider and multi-media with the backdrop of open market and open network. Furthermore, rapid progressing technologies are driving the integration of computer and telecommunications applications as well as their networks and also are strongly expected to realize seamless information services for end customers and information providers. These situation requires service/network management to play a more and more important role in terms of service providers' differentiator in a competitive and collaborative environment to offer attractive telecommunication services through the operations and management rather than network infrastructures themselves. On the other hand, service providers are becoming to well recognize that drastic reduction of their operations and management cost is an urgent issue to be solved. Such a changing environment makes a great impact on both telecommunication and computer industries which improves service/network management research from multi-perspective of vendors, service providers and end users. The research is required to expand its area covering such as business process, interface standardization typically known as TMN, software platform as well as management system development. Considering the importance and great business challenge of network management for current telecommunication industries, this special issue is planned to publish the latest results and to promote research activities in the field of network operations and management. This issue contains three invited papers and fifteen papers selected from many contributions. The first invited paper by Hashida presents the requirements and technologies for service management, and the progress of developments. The second invited paper by Willetts and Adams reviews the business needs to standardize key aspects of service/network management, discusses the potential benefits of TMN implementation, and then suggests ways of evolving TMN towards the 21st century. The third invited paper by Ejiri describes a view of the new environment in the telecommunication industries, and then proposes a concept of multi-domain management to meet a dynamically changing environment. The remaining fifteen papers cover three major areas of interest in the field of network operations and management, including architecture/modeling, system implementation and management system technologies.
