Modern telecommunication networks and classical roles of operators are subject to fundamental change. Many network operators are currently seeking for new sources to generate revenue by exposing network capabilities to 3rd party service providers. At the same time we can observe that applications on the World Wide Web (WWW) are becoming more mature in terms of the definition of APIs that are offered towards other services. The combinations of those services are commonly referred to as Web 2.0 mash-ups.This report describes our approach to prototype a policy-based service broker function for Next Generation Networks (NGN)-based telecommunications service delivery platforms to provide flexible service exposure anchor points for service integration into so called mash-ups. The defined exposure API uses Intent-based request constructs to allow a description of services in business terms, i.e. intentions and strategies to achieve them and to organize their publication, search and composition on the basis of these descriptions.

Abstract-Modern telecommunication networks and classical roles of operators are subject to fundamental change. On the one hand many network operators are currently seeking for new sources to generate revenue by exposing network capabilities to 3rd party service providers, on the other hand core network technologies have been re-defined under the label of NGN and the transition from existing legacy infrastructures towards NGN is ongoing. At the same time we can observe that service providers on the World Wide Web (WWW) are becoming more mature in terms of the definition of APIs and functionalities provided for mobile users offered over-the-top of existing telecommunications infrastructure. This report describes our approach to setup an infrastructure to explore and prototype technologies for a Service Delivery Framework based on Service Oriented Architecture principles that allows the autonomous composition of services. The work depicted in this paper serves as a starting point for the composition of services in inter-domain, federated testbed environments as currently designed by the European Union Seventh Framework Programme Pan-European Laboratory Infrastructure Implementation (PII) project.

Despite the growing acceptance of SOA, service-oriented computing remains a computing mechanism to speed-up the design of software applications by assembling ready-made services. We argue that it is difficult for business people to fully benefit of the SOA if it remains at the software level. The paper proposes a move towards a description of services in business terms, i.e. intentions and strategies to achieve them and to organize their publication, search and composition on the basis of these descriptions. In this way, it leverages on the SOA to an intentional level, the ISOA. We present ISM, the model to describe intentional services, and to populate the service registry. We highlight its intention driven perspective for service description, retrieval and composition. Thereafter, we propose a methodology to determine intentional services that meet business goals. Finally, we introduce agent architecture to support model driven execution of intentional services.
