Nokia SCE — An Architecture for a Lightweight SCE
Mikko Kolehmainen · 1997
This paper describes the architecture of a lightweight Service Creation Environment (SCE) that is developed at Nokia Research Center. The discussion focuses on an example of the future service creation architecture and on solutions that are considered to be worth further research. The aim of this article is to point out those architectural core capabilities that are essential for an effective Intelligent Network (IN) service creation environment. The core features of the architecture include a method to define service logic programs for several Service Control Point (SCP) platforms, a strong support for SIB based service creation approach, a possibility to define service logic programs with textual or graphical editors, a concept of using intermediate format of service definition language as a source format, and finally a possibility to use a network simulator via Core INAP (Intelligent Network Application Protocol) protocol. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
