Nowadays Social Networking phenomenon is gaining a significant momentum. Social Network's users are disclosing a lot of information about their relationships, profiles, preferences and interests. In this paper we describe the achievement of a context Aware platform which leverages a user's Social graph to provide pervasive computing applications based on context awareness. The platform's goal is to serve APIs to create novel Social Context Aware services.

Traditional communication networks have relied on accurate and dependable location information in order to deliver a range of critical and value-added services for decades. The location of a device attached to a network is a fundamental artifact of any access network, regardless of underlying technology. The success of the Internet, fuelled further by the growth in domestic broadband deployments is driving demand for location information to enable new services and allow essential services to operate on the Internet. The Internet is predicated on an end-device control model built around basic IP protocols and services supplied or made available by an access network. Information provided by access network services can be used by a device to address and use other services on the Internet. The location of a device is inherently known by the access network, and is required for a range of developing Internet applications, driving the need for a standard Internet location service that is independent of the physical access technology. This paper describes the evolving Internet location service, its applicability and benefits to all forms of broadband networks as well as its specific applicability to next generation emergency services. The paper further explains how the Internet location service works in conjunction with IMS using emergency calling as an example

This paper introduces a new approach that allows users to fully personalize services by merging the existing Telecommunication and Internet worlds. The telecommunication world has come up with established services such as voice call, messaging, presence, location, content, and conference services. Now with the evolution of the Internet, novel ways of communication such as social networking, content-oriented and messaging services have been introduced. This paper explores the benefits that can be gained for service providers by providing personalized mechanisms that use services of both worlds which are opened up. In pursuit of this purpose, we are proposing a new convergent service concept called Personalization Enabler. The proposed enabler architecture's goal is to provide an environment that facilitates personalization of services namely, by converging assets to provide a unified aggregated view, and providing a choice of communication mechanisms from any worlds for user's content and user's contacts. These benefit service provider as it gives them the convenience of connecting to users and services from both worlds. Service Provider also benefit as it gives them the opportunity to develop and market converged services in less time which will help in increased customer retention and possible new sales avenues. Also, service provider's users can benefit as it gives them ease of use, increased customer security and privacy. It is envisaged that this concept will aid in innovative ways of communication with both worlds.

A number of convergent trends - including but not limited to: end user focus, horizontalization, COTS HW/SW, increasing influence of IT concepts and artifacts - mean that the telco industry needs to assign at least as much attention to data structures, data ownership and data lifecycle as we have traditionally given to functionality and protocols. Such measures aim at cost savings and increased business agility, but in addition data can be treated as revenue generating assets. This paper suggests an architecture framework for successfully dealing with such issues.

Service Providers (TSP) view Service Delivery Platform (SDP) deployment as an important step towards rapid application rollout (using an “Application Store” for example). It is expected that the new applications developed will exploit TSP's network capabilities along with their subscribers diverse device capabilities to deliver richer end user experience. This will create a value proposition for the subscribers while also providing additional revenues streams for the TSPs. It is also expected that by providing simplified application development through easy to use Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), toolkits and attractive monetization models for application developers, a wealth of application will be offered. While TSP's are looking for additional revenue streams through new SDP deployments, one of the important criterion that is behind the SDP rollout strategy is achieving greater operational efficiencies for new application rollout as well as maintaining the existing services/applications with substantial reduction in operational expenses. In fact, this can be seen as a more compelling reason for brown field operators to adopt SDP than the motivation for enhancing their gamut of applications and services offerings to their subscribers.

Due to a rapidly shifting technology and competitive market environment, Telecommunication and Internet Services are constantly subject to changes, creating new challenges and needs for the industry to keep generating revenues. A high level of customization is therefore identified as a key enabler for achieving customer satisfaction and improving their quality of experience. Enriching services with innovative approaches such as context-aware, adaptable and interactive mechanisms enable the vendors to deliver tailored and personalized experiences to its customers. This article presents a concept to integrate policy-based decision mechanisms into the architecture of a Next Generation Network (NGN)-based converged messaging enabler for supporting adaptive personalization and context-aware service delivery across heterogeneous networks and messaging technologies. The system reacts to context changes and makes real-time decisions about handling incoming messages according to the users' preferences. A prototype has been implemented as part of the Open SOA Telco Playground testbed at Fraunhofer FOKUS.

Rich and attractive mobile services have been developed as result of technological advances and emergent mobile business models. Product launching has been improved through packaging and orchestration of services components using service composition techniques. The design of charging systems, which can explore partner information, is a strong enabler for mobile composite services ecosystems. The authors present the use of inter-domain contextual information contained in composite services chains as a new input to charging. They propose a mechanism to support inter-domain contextual information dissemination towards charging systems. The solution is based on diameter extensions and is in conformance to standard charging models.

In this paper we describe a new service that allows multimedia sharing between UPnP terminals connected to remote networks. The service grants the confidentiality of users' contents since they are still stored in the home network. Our approach uses IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) framework to establish a secure HTTP session between remote devices. A new Remote Access Application Server is deployed in the IMS network to manage users' rights to access to remote homes. In the home network we define an UPnP Reverse Proxy component to control remote users' rights to access to contents in the home network. In addition, our service ensures the QoS during contents delivery based on the QoS support in the IMS framework.

By means of a literature review, the paper discusses the role of exclusive dealings for premium content in mobile broadcasting platforms. As first movers may benefit from exclusive access, alternative operators are facing significant barriers for accessing must-have content that may drive consumer uptake and subscription rates. In this paper, it is argued that exclusivity not only drives media markets but also forecloses them and hinders fair competition and radical innovation. Therefore, a platform-based broadcasting model with shared access and royalty-based revenues is proposed as all stakeholders - content producers, platform operators and consumers - may benefit from the non-exclusive distribution of premium content.
