abstract

  • The trend of merging telecommunication infrastructures with traditional Information Technology (IT) infrastructures is ongoing and important for commercial service providers. The driver behind this development is, on
    one hand, the strong need for enhanced services and on the other hand,
    the need of telecommunication operators aiming at value-added service
    provisioning to a wide variety of customers. In the telecommunications
    sector, the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a promising service
    platform, which may become a ''standard'' for supporting added-value
    services on top of the next generation network infrastructure. However,
    since its range of applicability is bound to SIP- enabled services, IMS
    extensions are being proposed by ''SIPifying'' applications. In parallel
    to these developments within the traditional IT sector, the notion of
    Virtual Organizations (VO) enabling collaborative businesses across
    organizational boundaries is addressed in the framework of Web Services
    (WS) standards implementing a Service-oriented Architecture (SOA).
