Semantic Telecommunications Network Capability Services

Abstract

The providing of user-centric services in the B3G/4G network presents a great challenge in the service architecture. To narrow the semantic gap of Telecommunications Network and Internet in the service layer, we introduce the vision of User Centric Intelligent Service Environment (UCISE). The ubiquitous service ecosystem and the semantic service integration architecture of telecommunications network and Internet are proposed. To provide the semantic Telecommunications Network Capability Services (TNCS), we present a semantic description approach for TNCS by using the profile hierarchy of OWL-S. Then based on this approach, we demonstrate the cheapest click-to-call application case. In this way, the ontology-based accurate discovery, matching for telecommunication network capability services can be supported. This will facilitate the semantic convergence of telecommunications network and Internet in the service layer.
