“…Generally, the capability offered with this CallControl SCF is based on CAMEL Phase 3 call-related capability since one approach to implement this SCF is to use the CAMEL service environment (CSE) as a gateway. 9 The CAMEL service environment maps method invocations on the CallControl SCF onto the CAMEL application protocol (CAP) and/or mobile application part (MAP).…”

“…This functionality essentially should accomplish the appropriate orchestration of system and application resources for the sake of optimal and consistent service provision in highly diverse environments. A non-exhaustive list of tasks of particular importance include management of reconfigurability of system functions (e.g., traffic monitoring, charging/billing) in In this context, the potential of intelligent service management platforms that act as mediators between VASPs, end-users and mobile network operators can be clearly identified Grech et al, 2000). The above mentioned functionality, which is crucial for mobile service provision in 3G and beyond can be more efficiently handled in a unified way by a mediating platform residing between the networks and applications than by entities like network operators and VASPs, which cannot by themselves carry this excessive burden (cf.…”

“…Various industry initiatives, such as OSA [9], PARLAY [10], and JAIN [11], address the introduction of open network interfaces to third party providers. Common to all these architectures is the provision of a Basic Network Management Layer by the mobile operator, which acts as a gateway (mediator) between third parties and provided basic network services [12]. Through such APIs authorised entities are given the ability to retrieve from and store information to the network elements.…”

It is envisioned that the support of such standardised APIs could enable network operators to open their networks safely and reduce the complexity involved in delivering applications developed by third parties over public switched and mobile networks [12,13].…”

Abstract:The success of next generation mobile networks is highly dependent on the availability of a plethora of functionality-rich applications, accessible via a variety of network infrastructures and terminals. This can be achieved through the cooperation of various business players in addition to network operators and infrastructure providers. The specification by major standardisation organisations of open APIs for network access by third parties is a significant step in this direction. A critical issue in such architectures is reconfiguration management, which is regarded as the mean to enable new approaches to service provision, customisation and personalisation. In this paper we present our proposal for a generic, open, flexible, service provision framework that supports context-aware service provision and reconfiguration management.Keywords: context awareness; management; open APIs; reconfiguration; service provision.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Panagiotakis, S., Koutsopoulou, M., Alonistioti, A., Houssos, N., Gazis, V. and Merakos, L.

In 1998 he received a four-year fellowship for postgraduate studies from the National NCSR 'Demokritos'. Since 2000 he has been studying for a PhD at the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications (University of Athens) working in the area of mobile systems and data networks. His research interests include software reconfigurable mobile systems and networks, service management, location awareness, and the design of open architectures and platforms. He has participated in several national and European projects.Maria Koutsopoulou received her diploma with distinction in electrical engineering from the Demokritos University of Thrace, Greece, in 1996.
