Semantic Web Services in the environment ofNext Generation Network Jana Viskova
Contents • Motivation for NGN • NGN definition • NGN standardisation • NGN architecture • NGN Service layer • NGN Web Services example • NGN Semantic Web Services
Motivation for NGN (1) • Dedicated networks for specific services • Orientation towards information (knowledge) society • E-government, E-learning, E-medicine, E-commerce • New combined telecom/IT, fixed/mobile applications • Liberalisation of telecom market • Horizontal and vertical • New player and new revenues • Access providers -> Network resources providers -> Service providers (virtual operators, 3rd parties) -> Content providers -> Users • Dynamic IT development strategy in telecom domain
Motivation for NGN (2) • Dedicated networks for specific services • Circuit switched network • Quality guaranteed real-time communication • Fixed (PSTN) and mobile (GSM) transmission media • Dedicated communication channel • Synchronous communication • Signalling • Creation, modification and termination of connections • Resources reservation • Packet switched network • Best effort, non-real time communication in burst • Fixed (IP ever Ethernet Tx) and mobile (GPRS) transmission media • Independently routed packets • Asynchronous communication • No need for signalling
Motivation for NGN (3) • Convergence efforts • Data services delivered over PSTN circuit-switched network • ISDN - dedicated limited bandwidth, time based billing • PSTN services delivered over data packet-switched network • “IP telephony” - QoS guaranteed only in separate domains • Virtual circuits – combination of circuit & packet switched approach • ATM – expensive and high requirements on network management • Technology development • Broadband access and transport (xDSL, SDH, …) • Higher speed routing and QoS guaranties (IPv6, MPLS, …) • Standardized signalling protocols for IP (SIP, RSVP, H.323, …) • Service platforms for telecom and IT integration
NGN definition • User perspective • NGN enables users to get the information content they want in any media/format, over any facilities, anytime, anywhere and in any volume.[Telcordia] • Operator-provider perspective • NGN enables simpler, more competitive creation, operation and provisioning of services of different nature and requirements over a convergent transport network independently on the access network. [ETSI] • NGN is a model for future telecommunication networks • NGN is not a new network to be build
NGN standardisation • Magic quadrant
NGN architecture • Layered architecture • Open standard interfaces Control layer • Signalling for real-time services • Control of other layers Transport network • High speed backbone with packet switching • Support of services with different requirements (delay, jitter, packet loss, ... ) • Independent on the access network (gateways)
NGN Service layer (1) • Rapid and simple service creation, implementation and provisioning • Secure access to the network capabilities from un-trusted domain • Open access to the network capabilities to large developers community • Basic building blocks of services capabilities • Transparency to the underlying network technology • Possible integration of telecom, IT, enterprise applications • Access to external resources (DB, presence, media servers, …)

NGN Semantic Web Services • Semantic interface for telecom network • Parlay X Semantic Web Services • SIP grounding • Semantic Web Service use case in NGN • Pure telecom use case • Mixed IT/telecom use case • KW deliverable: Invocation and Interoperation SWS • Service interaction • Specific non-functional properties - SLA, trust issues, billing • Testing environment - Focus Parlay playground within NGN Initiative
