“…In general terms: (i ) IMS can be seen as an architectural framework for delivering IP multimedia services by permitting the integration of services based among others on SOAP, REST, and SIP, (ii ) Parlay X introduces the concept of Telco Web services to allow the creation of composite services; and (iii ) ONEAPI exposes network facilites as services, aiming to facilitate the combination of these facilities with services from the Web domain. Figure 6: The Radisys SCE [43] Like service composition in the Web, the service composition in the Telecom domain may also be carried out by using SCEs [4] and MDEs [5] [6]. These environments allow the user to combine services functionalities using drag-and-drop and wire tools that hide the technical details of technologies like IMS, Parlay X, and ONEAPI.…”

“…Telecom services can be created by using Services Creation Environments (SCE) [4] and Mashup Development Environments (MDE) [5] [6] that allow the users (e.g, programmers and administrators of telco and/or computer networks) to combine the functionalities of heterogeneous services using dragand-drop and wire tools for composing new services. Such a way of carrying out service composition is valid as long as the number of traditional communication services is low and the reliability of services is high enough (> 99%) so they do not change continually [7].…”

A convergent service is defined as a service that exploits the convergence of communication networks and at the same time takes advantage of features of the Web. Nowadays, building up a convergent service is not trivial, because although there are significant approaches that aim to automate the service composition at different levels in the Web and Telecom domains, selecting the most appropriate approach for specific case studies is complex due to the big amount of involved information and the lack of technical considerations. Thus, in this paper, we identify the relevant phases for convergent service composition and explore the existing approaches and their associated technologies for automating each phase. For each technology, the maturity and results are analysed, as well as the elements that must be considered prior to their application in real scenarios. Furthermore, we provide research directions related to the convergent service composition phases.

“…Currently, the research and proprietary industrial efforts related to network and service convergence with load balancing while focusing on SIP are ever increasing [20,6,30,22]. There are some general purpose embedded solutions targeted towards fixed mobile convergence [8, 5, 9, 4] focusing on rule based decision-making.…”

Enterprises nowadays are approaching towards an all IP paradigm by subscribing to different access technology links from several service providers for reliability and redundancy while providing good Quality of Service (QoS). Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) to Voice over IP (GSM-2-VoIP) convergence and vice-versa is a step forward towards this unification goal. It requires dynamic routing between IP, digital, analog and GSM networks. A decisionmaking framework is presented that can handle both the dynamic routing decision computation at private-public network border for inbound/outbound calls (GSM-2-VoIP) and the horizontal handover decision-making among various GSM cells. The decision engine takes multiple criteria into account while computing the routing and/or handover decisions (attributes from context of the request, platform's latest conditional parameters, business objectives of the company etc.) and/or (mobility management issues, user profile, traffic load etc.) respectively. An all open source real time platform consisting of Universal Serial Radio Peripheral (USRP), GNU Radio, an extended GSM stack (OpenBTS), OpenSIPS and Asterisk is developed to validate the proof of the concept. The system gives higher throughput and lower call dropping probability with an add-on susceptible delay offering good QoS and lower cost.

“…Unlimited growth of network traffic, processes of convergence of networks and network devices and the need for new business models determine the growing importance of new methods of reducing operating costs, making efficient use of network resources, and reducing risks in managing digital businesses. However, the existing management systems for networks and communication services [1][2][3][4][5] are able to render next-generation infocommunication services with the required level of flexibility, management and cost-saving only in part.…”

The existing management systems for networks and communication services do not fully meet the demands of users in next-generation infocommunication services that are dictated by the business processes of companies. Open digital architecture (ODA) is able to dramatically simplify and automate main business processes using the logic of distributed computing and management, which allows implementing services on a set of network nodes. The performance of a distributed operational management system depends on the quality of solving several tasks as follows: the distribution of program components among processor modules; the prioritization of business processes with parallel execution; the elimination of dead states and interlocks during execution; and the reduction of system cost to integrate separate components of business processes. The program components can be distributed among processor modules by an iterative algorithm that calculates the frequency of resource conflicts; this algorithm yields a rational distribution in a finite number of iterations. The interlocks of parallel business processes can be eliminated using the classic file sharing example with two processes and also the methodology of colored Petri nets. The system cost of integration processes in a distributed management system is reduced through partitioning the network into segments with several controllers that interact with each other and manage the network in a coordinated way. This paper develops a model of a distributed operational management system for next-generation infocommunication networks that assesses the efficiency of operational activities for a communication company.
