Service-oriented architecture (SOA) uses services as the baseline
for developing new architectures and applications, as networks are
built specifically to satisfy service requirements. Most services
are currently handled over different networks, but newer services
will soon require cross-network support. Architecting the
Telecommunication Evolution: Toward Converged Network Services
outlines the challenges of providing crossover services and the new
architectures and protocols that will enable convergence between
circuit- and packet-switched networks. Taking a standards-based
approach to converged services, this book lays a foundation for SOA
in telecommunications. The authors begin by outlining the
development of Internet telephony, focusing on how to use the
respective benefits of the traditional public switched telephone
network (PSTN) and the Internet to create and implement more
value-added services. These two eminent specialists first examine
services that originate in the Internet and take advantage of PSTN
services, and then explore how discrete events on the PSTN can be
used as an impetus to creating services on the Internet. They
conclude with a discussion on how this convergence creates smart
spaces in the telecoms domain. Including eight valuable appendices
that will aid in the implementation of converged services,
Architecting the Telecommunication Evolution is the first book of
its kind to offer a survey as well as a practical roadmap to
integrating modern networks to achieve better performance and new
functionality.
