Abstract
Although initially following separate paths, telecommunications and computer technology are now merging and borrowing from each other. The purpose of this chapter is not to draw up exhaustive lists of data processing techniques, but rather to focus on four areas likely to have a significant impact on future telecommunications architecture and software development:
-
object-oriented technologies and their various aspects related to application, development and support: programming languages, infrastructure and software components;
-
application programming interfaces (API), required to open up the field of applications to developers and suppliers working in different domains the world over;
-
database management, with respect to volume, distribution, access time, and security constraints conjugated with the mobile phone explosion, information retrieval services, information systems, etc.
-
intelligent agents, with their broad field of application, particularly to provide users with the necessary user-friendliness in their interaction with applications, in spite of their growing diversity and sophistication (training, e-business, games, etc.).
