Service Processing Systems for AT&T's Intelligent Network
Edwin F. Crabill, James A. Kukla · AT&T Technical Journal · 1994
Many advanced network-based services are being provided on service processing systems that interoperate with, but are separate from, the network switches. The use of these systems has led to the implementation of powerful intelligent networks (IN). Service processing systems support the creation, modification, and scripting capabilities needed to provide these services. This paper: — Defines service processing systems; — Describes how market forces require their functionality; — Discusses IN, voice recognition, and service creation technologies; — Describes new services being provided through these technologies; and — Lists some of the AT&T Network Systems intelligent network products and services.
