Applying aspect oriented service control in IMS network

Abstract

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
