Currently, in the Telecommunication industry, the move toward service oriented infrastructures based on Internet Protocol (IP), IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), and Service Delivery Platforms (SDP) can be observed. Communication Service Providers (CSP) are opening parts of their core infrastructure and interfaces to third party developers. Nevertheless, there is still a gap between application developer communities and the Telecommunication industry. CSPs offer their services so developers can use them in their applications but developers do not have any incentives, tools, or development environments that would help them to overcome the barriers of accessing Telecommunication services to build future distributed Web-Telecom-Converged Applications. This research work presents a concept for how to close this gap by conceptualizing an end-to-end platform from Telecommunication core networks and the Internet to end user clients. Requirements of all platform stakeholders are identified and through the combination of SOA platform concepts with Telecommunication SDP architecture concepts and application store application distribution concepts (e.g. Apple AppStore, Google Market) fulfilled. The final result is a concept and logical reference architecture for Application Delivery Platforms (ADP) that extend the concepts of SDPs by broadening the focus from re-usable SOA services over a Web-Telecom-Converged Application architecture and service/application life cycle management to end user applications on client platforms and devices.

“…[5,6] Conventional techniques relating to the SDP mostly define the SDP as a set of enablers corresponding to abstract forms of physical devices of a network or the Internet. These conventional techniques provide general SDP structures in which service common functions such as an operation support system (OSS)/business support system (BSS) are connected with the enablers of the SDP to enable rapid service creation and third party service providers and users can abstract functions to create and provide services even if the third party service providers and the users are not network operators.…”
Abstract-IPTV brought a new digital era in the broadcasting domain. The main change of digital broadcasting is an advent of a bi-directional interactive service feature. Using that bidirectionality, IPTV provides various kinds of convergence service such as information providing, advertisement, and ecommerce. But the number of services required to be developed and to be provided to users geometrically increases and the lifetime of services is shortened requiring services to be developed within a short period. To support the market demand for a massive service delivery, the IPTV platform based on service delivery platform (SDP) is essential. The SDP is a technique developed to meet the variation in communication and information technology convergence environments, allows service providers to rapidly create and deliver convergence services. This paper describes an Open IPTV service delivery platform structure and method for supporting rapid service creation by reusing pre-defined IPTV service components. We describe key components and functionalities of SDP, IPTV Enablers and its combination for service convergence. We show customer targeted mobile advertisement for Open IPTV convergence service example.
“…CSPs espouse Service Delivery Platform (SDP) and Infrastructure, Middleware Infrastructure which essentially help them to expose network capabilities as Service Enablers and address the needs of converged applications. While SDP provides proliferated convergent Telecom IT services and applications as described by (Ohnishi et al, 2007), accessing subscriber profile in an Operator's environment is still a challenge with silo type data sources or network elements. Convergent Telecom applications and services require a robust unified Science Publications JCS subscriber data access and management mechanisms.…”
