In the developing countries, the long-term development of a services platform held by network operator is difficult because people have lower resources and the services providers have low financial means. The business model of revenue sharing seems the most appropriate. In fact, this business model aims the revenue sharing from traffic generated by services platform. Therefore, each services provider is paid according to a rate of revenue from the traffic generated by his services. In addition, the revenue sharing allows customers to avoid paying additional fees. Thus, a virtuous circle is created. More and more customers use the services platform because the services are free (free if the transmission cost is not taken account), which attracts more and more services providers. Moreover, the increasing amount of traffic creates a profitability business model for the network operator.

Application Platforms and related APIs are becoming the foundations for emerging eco-systems of online applications/services. End-users are more and more choosing devices and services based on the available offers in the respective eco-system. Attracting and retaining application developers and end-users to a networked platform is nowadays more and more depending on the features available to developers in the form of APIs and (e.g. cloud-based) execution environments rather than on the actual portfolio of services. The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Next Generation Service Interfaces (NGSI) is one cornerstone of evolving a network operator towards an application platform provider with open APIs. Within NGSI, the Context API enables access to a plethora of rich information about users, places, events, and things - all made available by or brokered through the network operator. This paper explains the OMA NGSI Context API and its rationale, describes the operations, and discusses typical use cases and benefits it can bring to operators and application developers.

Digital network appliances supporting DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) have been gaining wide acceptance in home networks (HNWs). To enhance the entertainment experiment in the HNW, we propose a collaborative content play method that automatically plays the user-selected content (e.g. music, photo) as main-content and other kinds of content to suit the mood of the main-content as sub-content in the same timing. Moreover, we show the performance evaluation of the proposed method in experimental test bed using multiple digital network appliances supporting DLNA.

An approach based on overlay networking can lead to a novel P2P Service Platform (PSP) that Operators can fruitfully use to compete with Web Companies. The merits and the strengths of the approach are highlighted respect to the de-perimeterization of services. Critical points of overlay networking are tackled by the integration of technologies like autonomic, virtualization, cognition and negotiation frameworks. These enhancements make the PSP proposition reliable, effective and viable. The PSP is able to support the Inner Circle concept: i.e., the ability to integrate infrastructural and permanent resources with more temporary and dynamic associated nodes. Eventually some usage scenarios are discussed for showing how a PSP and the Inner Circle concept can support and nourish new ecosystems of services.

The present paper introduces the concept of network based service triggering in IMS, as well as the functional entity that facilitates this. Network based service triggering ties in with the evolution in IMS interconnect networks and corporate IP networks. New SIP proxy functionality is proposed, Transit CSCF. This Transit CSCF may be realized through enhancement of an existing SIP proxy or may be realized as designated functional entity. The Transit CSCF enables transit SIP or SIP-I based networks to offer services for interconnected networks. One such service may be the connecting of IP-PBXs without requirement for registration of such PBX in the IMS network, but yet with optimized load distribution in IMS network. Transit CSCF leverages on the standardized service assertion methodology of IMS, namely the ISC reference point (of Serving CSCF). With the globalization of IMS networks, IMS interconnect becomes increasingly important for operators. IMS interconnect may be operated by independent parties. The usage of the IMS service control interface (ISC) reference point in transit networks further allows for third party service providers to offer services in these networks.

With the evolution towards mass wireless broadband communication, a novel set of applications tailored for this environment will be developed that are able to communicate their requirements towards core networks and foremost to adopt to a change in access network conditions of users. This paper will present their characteristics and how they can be developed and tested with the 3GPP Evolved Packet Core. Furthermore, the paper will outline the developed demonstrations with the help of Fraunhofer FOKUS new OpenEPC toolkit.

The adoption of IT-based interfaces to monitor and control telco capabilities is a consolidated approach. In such a scenario the end-users design composite services that orchestrate functions implemented through one or more resources managed by telecom operators. In addition to the issues that have to be faced to support the design of composite services in general, in this case it is also necessary to face issues that are specific to the telco domain. In fact, telco services strongly rely on the processing of asynchronous events generated by resources; moreover, they usually handle large and dynamic sets of concurrent processes that execute long-running transactions each of which includes interactions between the composite service and the telco capabilities. The complexity of the telco domain suggests to define a set of patterns to ease the development of composite services. The goal of this paper is to propose such patterns and to show how they can be implemented both as plain Java objects and as BPEL processes. The pattern based approach is illustrated by means of a service which takes advantage of the combined use of multiple patterns. Moreover, the paper suggests some improvements on the definition of the interfaces and on the reference model for the development of composite services.

The general public takes it for granted that it is free to access the wireless LAN outside the home and the office. Nonetheless, mobile or wireless telcos think differently. They consider that the wireless LAN access service is not lucrative at all, encroaching on the current stable revenue from legacy services. For this reason, they are neither aggressive in deploying wireless LAN infrastructure nor providing free wireless LAN access service. However, if they change their traditional view on revenue, wireless LAN service could give them new opportunities to make a huge profit even though it is provided at no charge. In this paper, we introduce four business models for the free public wireless LAN service which bring new profits to mobile or wireless telcos in different ways from the subscriber-based legacy model. Three of them are free business models presented by Chris Anderson and the other is the model used for the Kindle e-book reader by Amazon.com. In this paper, we will try to help readers have an insight, rather than elaborating on each business model, thereby they may develop their own business models.

This work presents a graphical tool for end-user service composition. The tool, EasyComposer, has been developed within the context of a research project addressing end-user service composition in ubiquitous service environments. The EasyComposer is a simple composition tool that the end user can use to compose telephony based services to handle primarily the end-user's incoming calls. The paper presents also an example service composition.

Combining wireless network and robotics technologies enables movable sensor nodes, which have various sensors, to communicate each other and move freely on the ground to build new sensor networks. They are called “Movable Sensor Networks” and interests in them have increased. “Movable Sensor Networks” are expected to be used in new situations. Applying these networks will make it possible to collect efficiently extensive environmental data by using less sensor nodes. If a node can communicate with another node while moving toward the destination node, they will configure a temporary network and the nearer node will plays a role in a dedicated relay node. Data collection time and the node moving distance can be largely reduced.
