Over recent years, the need to introduce rapidly new telecommunications services has led to the development of the Intelligent Network (IN). These services and the increasingly complex supporting network infrastructure need to be managed. The Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) provides the framework for their management. Now, it is becoming clear that future sophisticated services, div...

The SDL work was done in the ESTI Sub-Technical Committee SPS3 on a voluntary basis with support of the Permanent Expert Group (PEX) at ETSI and the Technical Committee Methods for Testing and Specification (TC MTS). The SDL was developed in parallel with the INAP protocol standardization with only a little delay. The work started in the middle of 1995 and the SDL model was finished in the midd...

During the past few years, the mobile prepaid service has been growing exponentially all over the world. Four approaches have been proposed to provide mobile prepaid service. We describe these approaches and compare their strength and weakness. Our analysis indicates that the handset based approach is a low cost, high risk solution. The wireless intelligent network approach is a high cost, low ...

Estimation of the conceptual costs in construction projects can be regarded as an important issue in feasibility studies. This estimation has a major impact on the success of construction projects. Indeed, this estimation supports the required information that can be employed in cost management and budgeting of these projects. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an intelligent model to im...

Multinational planners need to be able to plan and replan rapidly. In addition, they need to be able to model complex events and organization structures. For example, multinational planners need to be able to plan for production in multiple countries and repatriatization of funds. This paper presents an intelligent generalized network system (IGNS) that can be used to assist in planning for mul...

Bandwidth transaction service is emerging as a network resource management service among IP network service providers and operators. This paper presents the design of IP-based the transaction-oriented services architecture, called COPIN (Cross-Network Open Provisioning Intelligent Network), and supporting protocols that allow open interfaces and dynamic provisioning across IP QoS interconnections.

This paper describes an architecture where access to heterogeneous mobile networks is granted on the basis of online payment methods. Access methods for GSM networks were designed for subscribed post-pay customers. With the Intelligent Networks (IN) technology, the operators could also offer services to prepay customers. Now online payment might provide additional means for network access. We s...

The traditional way of museum exhibition is physical exhibition, which essentially restricted by the venue, time, space, and display conditions no longer applicable to form modern exhibits. Therefore, with development a large number technologies such as information technology, wireless sensor technology image processing cultural relics also tends be more intelligent intelligent. Based on this, ...
