Rapid service creation using eXtreme Model Driven Design for real-time communications services on top of Next Generation Networks

Existing telecommunication networks and classical roles of operators are subject to fundamental change. Many network operators are currently seeking for new sources to generate revenue by exposing network capabilities to 3

party service providers. At the same time we can observe that services on the World Wide Web (WWW) are becoming mature in terms of the definition of APIs that are offered towards other services. The combinations of those services are commonly referred to as Web 2.0 mash-ups. Rapid service design and creation becomes therefore important to meet the requirements in a changing technology and competitive market environment. This report describes our approach to enable a service creation environment based on model driven design paradigm for complex (orchestrated) real-time communications services through a service broker on top of Next Generation Networks (NGN) to combine the emerging Web/telecommunications service space.
