Telecom operators have started to make significant investments towards evolving their Service Delivery Platforms (SDPs) to a next-generation architecture based on IP technologies and standards such as SIP, SOA and increasingly, Web 2.0. With consumers and businesses increasingly relying on Web 2.0-oriented services for information, communications, collaboration and entertainment -the key to this evolution would be the integration of Web/SOA middleware and Telecom middleware infrastructure, thereby creating a converged Web-Telecom services layer. To this end, operators are gradually embracing the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and looking at developing an ecosystem of IMS/SIP-based services that can be mashed up with Webbased applications, in innovative ways. Service delivery is vital for the success of the IMS-based approach. To this end, operators will require greater flexibility around real-time management, control and enhancement of user services at runtime -in a manner that is decoupled from the application logic itself. We observe this need and present the Service Control Layer (SCL), a middleware technology that sits between the IMS service and network plane, and provides operators with the requisite fine-grained control and enrichment over the delivery of next-generation converged services.
Service delivery is vital for the success of IMS network in telecom. Current approaches focus on combining existing services into a new composite service. However, there are further requirements for enabling telecom operator to dynamically personalize, manage and enhance user services at runtime outside of the application logic itself. We observe the need and present the SCL (Service Control Layer), an adaptive middleware between the service and network plane in IMS. By using aspect oriented technology, the SCL provide operators with the requisite fine-grained control over service delivery
This paper presents a new SIP application composition framework, which can enable service operators to manage SIP application compositions using intuitive business rules. The framework supports complex conditions and feature interaction management when making application composition decisions. The requirements of SIP application composition is studied from service operator's point of view, and possible extensions to current JSR 289 SIP application composition mechanism are discussed. We give example implementations to illustrate how the rule-based framework can be integrated to SIP servlet environment.
