An event-based framework for converged service provisioning
Bilhanan Silverajan, Pasi Kemppainen · 2002
The paper describes an object-oriented event-based framework for provisioning services for the converging telecommunications networks and the Internet. The DOORS (distributed object operations) framework attempts to address several issues in protocol development, interoperability and distributed computing in heterogenous networks and telecommunications systems. The framework highlights a generic service platform, called Network Intelligence Middleware, as a means to interface with the disparate networks and systems. In addition, the platform is a controlling environment for provisioning the services in the network, guaranteeing the runtime robustness and scalability.
