“…Considering all the artifacts produced in the service design phase, the MMCS-ET was implemented on MS Windows NT 4.0 using Microsoft's Visual C++ (v. 6.0) together with Microsoft's DCOM [8], appropriately extended with a high-level application programming interface (API) in order to support continuous media interactions, and was executed on a number of workstations connected via a 10 Mb/s Ethernet LAN [4]. All the interconnected workstations belong to the same (MS Windows NT) domain; one of them functions as a primary domain controller.…”

“…Such a market requires increased "intelligence" of telecommunication networks, provided by software whose importance is constantly rising [3]. Based on the principles of distributed computing systems, an information network is realized as a distributed processing system in which the telecommunications services can be regarded as distributed software applications [4].…”

Rapid technological developments are taking place in computing and telecommunications that provide a wide range of opportunities for the delivery of new advanced multimedia services (telematic services). In this context information networking has a central role, and telecommunications service engineering emerges as an important new scientific discipline. This article examines important issues that underpin the creation of telematic services in a highly competitive environment of service provisioning. The starting point is the proposal of a telecommunications service engineering framework consisting of a service development methodology, a service creation environment, and a service support environment, that considers telematic services as distributed object-oriented applications operating on distributed object platforms. Then the article focuses on the presentation and examination of a complete methodology for the development of telematic services, that "covers" in a systematic and structured manner the entire service creation process. Finally, the proposed methodology is validated by applying it to the design and development of a complex representative telematic service.
