Towards TMN-based service control-A Personal Communication Support System for distributed communication environments

This paper presents a TMN-based Personal Communications Support System (PCSS) which is currently under development at the Technical University of Berlin and supports personal mobility, service personalization and service interoperability in distributed multimedia environments. The PCSS design is driven by the recent advances in the field of personal communications in both telecommunications and distributed computing. In particular it takes into account the upcoming paradigm shift in telecommunications towards TMN-based service control.<
