Supervisory and Notification Aggregator Service Enabler in a Fixed Mobile Convergent Architecture

This paper investigates and proposes the introduction of a supervisory and notification aggregator (SNA) service enabler in a fixed mobile convergent (FMC) architecture. The SNA service enabler facilitates the deployment of advanced convergent services based on event notifications according to existing standards. The main functions and the components of the SNA service enabler are presented, while two examples of services that can be developed are analyzed illustrating the role of the SNA service enabler within a FMC architecture.
