Abstract
The development of broadband networks and especially the design of emerging multimedia applications on top of these networks have to recognize a major trend in telecommunications: the evolution towards personal mobility and personalized communications. This paper gives an overview of the required capabilities for supporting user mobility and enhanced call management in future multimedia broadband environments. It introduces a generic Personal Communications Support System (PCSS) based on state-of-the-art management system technology, which integrates X.500 directory and X.700 management standards. The description of the PCSS includes a preliminary generic service user profile, which contains besides general user data user-specific location information and sophisticated communication control attributes for any communication services. Access to the profile data for both, user profile management and control of any multimedia communications applications will be realized via uniform management application programming interfaces.
