摘要
Traditional signaling based telecom service control architecture, intelligent network service control architecture, and even Next Generation Network (NGN) and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) that are pictured as the fundamental of future services have become an obstacle for telecom service development because they are closed in service creation and service control and implemented on a centralized computing platform. As newest technologies in Internet, distributed computing and enterprise information services, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Web services and Web 2.0 have been widely recognized in information and service industry in past years. According to the SOA definition of OASIS, SOA will bring tremendous changes in capability, service and service interface, compared with traditional telecom service architecture. Moreover, it adds a capability-service transform mechanism and greatly simplifies application development.
