The paper considers the Service Node providing a powerful approach for such service integration tasks because it forms a flexible platform for a wide range of different architectures and applications. After discussing the motivation for a complementation of the classical IN architecture the paper elaborates on the Service Node as the basic element for the further evolution of the IN concept towards more distributed network intelligence. In particular the paper presents: a description of the Service Node concept (e.g. the classical SCP as a special case of a Service Node); Services which are typically provided by Service Nodes; Service Node architecture; The integration of PSTN/ISDN services with mobile services based on a Service Node approach (a practical example); and discussion of future directions for Intelligent Networks taking the Internet challenge into account.","PeriodicalId":395317,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Network Workshop in '97.

These days, service management and operations are an important area of study in advanced INs. The provision of flexible operations using Operations Logic Programs (OLPs) has become a particularly topical issue. Since support for various advanced IN services will be added to our network quickly, new service-dependent operations functions must be provided immediately to support the services on demand. Existing OpSs, however, generally focus on one or more existing services, so it is difficult that they can handle new ones quickly. To compensate for the lack of new operations functions in existing OpSs, we are developing a service operations system (SOpS) and service operations workstations (OpWSs). These each have their own Service-Independent Operations Platform (SIOP). They also have Service-Independent/Dependent Operations Function Building Blocks (SI/DOFB), like Service Independent Building Block (SIB). The SIOP can execute OLPs by using these SI/DOFBs. The SOpS and OpWSs consequently enable flexible advanced IN service operations. This presentation first explains NTT's advanced IN architecture. Next, we discuss the requirements of the SOpS and OpWSs. Then, we overview their system structures, OLPs, and SIOPs. Finally, we describe how to install new service-dependent operations functions on them.","PeriodicalId":395317,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Network Workshop in '97. Proceedings.

Hou, Yun-Chao Hu","doi":"10.1109/INW.1997.601170","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/INW.1997.601170","url":null,"abstract":"Deregulation and Internet are shaping the future of (tele-)communications. Deregulation has led to new operators entering competition with traditional PTTs. It will also bring in some new players with an infrastructure that can be converted to provide telecommunication services, e.g. cable TV vendors are seeking the possibility to upgrade their coax distribution network in order to provide interactive communication services. The extremely fast growth of Internet has opened opportunity for the introduction of bandwidth demanding applications. In order to survive, telecommunication network operators will have to provide more advanced services in a cost-effective way. A cost-effective service provisioning can be achieved, e.g., by making use, to the largest possible extent, the existing telecom infrastructure. Advanced broadband services are characterized by high-demand for transmission bandwidth, as well as the need for a sophisticated control of the service provisioning. Most of the network backbones have been upgraded to optical network. Access techniques such as asynchronous digital subscriber line (ADSL) are readily available to allow up to a few Mbits per second downstream data transmission, together with a reasonably large upstream data transmission (up to more than 100 Kbits per second), transmission capacity does not seem to be the bottleneck, at least in the near future. Unfortunately, little attention has been paid to the control of service provisioning in such an environment. While the work in B-ISDN can be considered as a long term solution for years beyond 2010, an evolutionary approach is needed before that, taking into account how fast Internet applications, in particular world wide web, are growing. This paper discusses how IN concept can be used in the provisioning control of advanced broadband services.","PeriodicalId":395317,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Network Workshop in '97.

We begin by presenting an overview of NTT's advanced intelligent network (IN) architecture and describe a service creation environment (SCE). Then we discuss a service logic program (SLP) creation system in the SCE, and describe the issues related to a practical application of the SCE.","PeriodicalId":395317,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Network Workshop in '97.

Besides its suitability to clarify the impact of a service's execution on the involved actors, the FIM concept has been mainly promoted in the EURESCOM project P509 to support the detection of service/feature interaction cases. So far, two analysis approaches which differ in their granularity have been developed in order to ease the identification of service combinations that might lead to an undesired interaction because of control flow conflicts.","PeriodicalId":395317,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Intelligent Network Workshop in '97.
