Abstract
Current research trends within a Next Generation Networks (NGN) are investigating the benefits and feasibility of developing integrated services in order to converge the Telco and Web worlds. These trends responds to the need to integrate features offered by heterogeneous subjects to provide new innovative value added services to end users on any device equipped with a web browser. This PhD work focuses on the study of service description models and mechanisms that facilitate and automate the interoperation and composition of heterogeneous services (Web and Telecom) within a NGN. The objectives of this research work are: first, creating a model for abstract and concrete service interface specifications for each service type and interaction model, second, defining a service creation environment (SCE) using a orchestration language to compose heterogeneous services, and third, developing a convergent platform for the orchestration and composition of heterogeneous services from different domains environments.
