A New Approach to Classify and Describe Telecommunication Services |
Service composition, especially the reusability of distributed Internet Protocol (IP) multimedia services, will play a decisive role in future telecommunication networks. Therefore present classifications and specifications for telecommunication services have been researched. The summarised results clearly illustrate the insufficiency of describing services from a consumer's view. So a new classification for telecommunication services is presented that will support customers to simplify the description of services. The aim of this approach is a simple specification and description language for reusable and distributed services which will support customers not only in describing services and service compositions. It should support customers to describe, find and use existing distributed telecommunication services.
