In the recent years the following two trends have been accelerated: on the one hand, as Content Services became at the center of Internet usages, OTTs strengthen their position. On the other hand, in several cases, Telcos are seeing their role shrinking to “dumb pipes” providers. This paper introduces advanced Telcos' positioning in future content distribution services. In particular, it focuses on the “value” that Telcos can bring to CDN providers and Content providers and analyses the required evolutions of the involved systems' architectures (network and content delivery). Value is assessed with respect to both users' trends and content ecosystem evolution. We show that existing Telcos' assets could indeed be leveraged to make the proposed move, bringing to Telcos a major differentiator in this arena. For that, an open and efficient control infrastructure is necessary, the paper presents the core required functionalities and architectural framework, as well as related challenges.

Complex Event Processing (CEP) is a key technology for processing of data, the use of which has increased rapidly in recent years. Network service providers are expected to offer new services through network connectivity between distributed devices as data source, data processing systems like CEP and users of the final results. Reduction of the peak traffic is one of the important issues for the network service providers. Because the amount of the capital investment for the network equipments is proportional to the amount of the peak traffic in network. We developed Application-Aware Traffic Control (AATC) for network based data processing services. AATC controls traffic for data processing services based on requirements of users of data processing results and reduces the peak traffic. We will also show the effectiveness of AATC with simulated systems.

We introduce a term called mobile social phonebook, which refers to the integration of traditional mobile phone contacts with contacts from mobile Internet communication services that is happening in the mobile device's phonebook. First, mobile phone user perceptions towards mobile social phonebooks are studied by means of semi-structured interviews. The results of the interviews are combined with related work and discussed from a mobile operator perspective. We claim that mobile social phonebooks will have an effect on the interrelationships of mobile communication services and discuss implications related to providers, privacy and future of mobile social phonebooks. Moreover, we claim that the future analysis on interrelationships needs to happen on a more detailed level, than what has been achieved so far. This paper contributes to the research fields of mobile platforms and mobile communication services and is valuable both for practitioners and academics.

The fast growing market for wireless Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication services is facing specific challenges which do not exist comparably in the traditional cellular subscriber market. The challenges are emerging around the changed ecosystem and value chain and dealing with different traffic and load profiles in the network. The significantly reduced ARPDs (average revenue per device) are calling for increased operational efficiency and flexibility and tangible cost reductions. With regard to the requirements arising in this context this paper focuses on new concepts for SIM management (SIM: Subscriber Identity Module) in the M2M domain from a subscription management perspective in order to develop an economic MCIM provisioning process (MCIM: M2M communication identity module). Three technical concepts were addressed and described with a look on the critical features. Essential items are the circle of trust, the grade of flexibility, the complexity of the solution and the impact on security. A further evolution of the Embedded UICC (Universal Integrated Circuit Card) proposal currently handled in standardization is presented and discussed, which gives the device owner and the M2M service provider a more active role and responsibility in the process. This approach enables full flexibility for change of operator and subscription and requires less administrative effort from MNOs (Mobile Network Operators), in particular for devices currently not requiring an active subscription. The respective business processes for MCIM management are presented as blueprints and discussed with regard to the lifecycle phases. There is a need for an increased grade of automation and integration of these workflows going beyond the boundaries of a particular stakeholder participating in the value net.

The purpose of this study is to construct a framework for enhancing telecom operators' network services. To achieve this, we propose “SightFinder,” an enhanced videophone service in which the media is processed on the network by multiple pattern recognition engines working in parallel. This service alerts users when they cannot see information and explains the information when they cannot understand it.

While advances in commercial video conferencing and social networking are driving more people to communicate using video, it is still difficult to achieve a sense of co-presence - that is to make the technology transparent to its users - when mediating ad hoc interactions between groups of people in different locations. This paper presents an ambitious plan to define and demonstrate a platform for group communication that allows participants to create a robust video communication session that is centred on a shared activity and to which participants can join or leave in an arbitrary manner using an arbitrary device specification on an arbitrary network. We describe two representative applications in which co-presence is not currently well supported. We then explain the key technical capabilities which we believe must be developed in order to build our platform, highlighting how they extend the state of the art in the dynamic control of video communication systems and the configuration of key components within the network. We conclude by explaining how our novel platform will be implemented and evaluated over the next 3 years.

Attracted by impressive cash flows and success stories, mobile application developers are trying to penetrate the mobile application market more than ever. Despite this increasing interest, the market configuration is certainly not always clear, let alone how to formulate an optimal business and revenue model from a developer's or provider's viewpoint. Based on case study research, we identified business model characteristics and several revenue models for a mobile application provider. In addition to existing literature on business models, this paper describes two main value network configurations for offering mobile applications: 1) All-in-one mobile application provider, and 2) Outsourcing mobile application provider. Further, we focus on the business model elements of an application developer which can be subdivided in recurrent elements (e.g.: cost structure, key partners, resources, key activities, promotion channels, customer relationships and revenue streams) or unique elements (value proposition and customer segments). This actor specific research allows us to 1) develop a decision chart and 2) to extend existing guidelines in order to determine the most optimal revenue model for a mobile application. The tool and the insights can help new developers to set up their business model or existing mobile application providers to evaluate their current one.

The present paper builds on to previous papers presented at ICIN. We present and evaluate trends in the IMS network. Specifically, we look at how Multimedia communication service, including, but not limited to, voice calls, video calls and messaging, can be enhanced with Value Added Services (VAS). VAS has, since its inception two decades ago, undergone architectural changes, in order to adapt to and integrate with the IMS network. Many papers have been written on this topic and product development has been done. With Multimedia Telephony (MMTel), Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) and Video-over-LTE becoming de facto standards for person-to-person communication in the 4G network, a renewed paradigm shift is needed for VAS. We have to ensure that VAS in the IMS/MMTel network does what it's designed for: augmenting the end-user communication session, not controlling it. This has led to new insights lately. VAS, as we have known it since its inception, will evolve towards a concept & toolbox for enriching multimedia in the 4G mobile network, including both public communication networks and enterprise communication networks.

The upcoming communication aim will not focus on connecting humans by different kinds of multimedia services, but also connecting machines of different aspects, providing a global smart world. The telecommunication industry is currently moving towards service-oriented infrastructures based on Internet Protocol (IP), Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), and Service Delivery Platforms (SDP). In this paper we introduce the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) trend of communications, which evoked more interest recently, and describe a set of proposed Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to interact with our new OpenMTC framework at FOKUS.

Sun Tzu's Art of War is a work of Chinese philosophy. It can be seen as a manual for warfare, but at the same time it is so much more. Sun Tzu's Art of War describes how the ultimate victory is one won without fighting. Any sector, including the telecommunications sector, may learn from Sun Tzu's work. The work contains concepts like doing appraisals (importance of information), of taking whole (creating a win-win), of the sage commander (strong leadership), of emotions (being rational) and of shih (having the initiative). Sun Tzu's insights in these concepts have stood the test of time for over 2500 years and we may do well to study them in today's Telecom industry.
