Abstract

This article presents a model to implement an information system to monitor mobile networks using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The proposed model encloses not only the KPI calculations but the translation, importing and presentation of data. It also addresses more advanced topics such as system configuration, node dependencies and routing. A description of the system’s implementation is also presented, from two perspectives: high-level components and technology-related issues. The paper finishes with the presentation of a system application: monitoring a KPI using a data plot generated by the system.
