Context-Aware Telecommunication Services

This chapter describes how the changing information about an individual’s location, environment, and social situation can be used to initiate and facilitate people’s interactions with one another, individually and in groups. Context-aware communication is contrasted with other forms of context-aware computing and we characterize applications in terms of design decisions along two dimensions: th...

Telecommunication Mashups Using RESTful Services

Evolution in the telecommunications sector has led to companies within it providing APIs for their products and services, allowing others to build communication services into their own service offerings. In order to support mass adoption of this new approach, consumers of these APIs (many of which are RESTful) must be supported by a reduction in the complexity involved with describing, finding,...

Scalability Issues in Telecommunication Services

The development of the network technology is allowing the introduction of complex interactive services. The implementation of complex services available to millions of users on very large networks introduces strong scalability requirements, which are not addressed by today's technology. This paper describes some of the problems, and presents an overview of a possible solution, based on the use ...

Engineering Telecommunication Services With SDL

If formal techniques are to be more widely accepted then they should evolve as current software engineering approaches evolve. Current techniques in the development of distributed systems use interface definition languages (IDLs) as a basis for the underlying communication and also as an abstraction tool. Object-oriented technologies [6] and the idea of engineering software through frameworks [...
