In the telecom world, services have usually been conceived with a
specific mindset. This mindset has defined the traditional
characteristics of these services; services distinguished by their
linkage with the access network, tight control over service use
(e.g., authentication, billing), lack of deep personalization
capabilities (mass services only) and reliance on standardization
to achieve end-to-end interoperability between all the actors of
the value chain (e.g., operators, platform manufacturers, device
manufactures). This book offers insights into this complex but
exciting world of telecommunications characterized by constant
evolution, and approaches it from technology as well as business
perspectives. The book is appropriately structured in three parts:
(a) an overview of the state-of-the-art in fixed/mobile NGN and
standardization activities; (b) an analysis of the competitive
landscape between operators, device manufactures and OTT providers,
emphasizing why network operators are challenged on their home
turf; and (c) opportunities for business modeling and innovative
telecom service offers.

Thebeginningofthe21stcenturyiswitnessingadrivetotheconvergenceof?xed
and mobile telecommunication networks and the increasing adoption
of IP te- nologies for implementing seamless multimedia
applications in next-generation networks. The IEEE International
Workshop Series on IP Operations & M- agement (IPOM) is
documenting this evolution by providing snapshots of the state of
the art in the ?eld of operations and management in IP-based
networks. The 5th IEEE International Workshop on IP Operations
& Management (IPOM2005), devotedtothe
O&MChallengesinNextGenerationServicesand Networks, was held in
Barcelona, Spain, October 26 28, 2005. Here IPOM was one of the ?ve
collocated events under the banner First International Week on
ManagementonNetworksandServices(www.manweek2005.org), togetherwith
the 16th IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems:
Ope- tionsandManagement(DSOM2005),
the8thInternationalConferenceonM- agement of Multimedia Networks
and Services (MMNS 2005), the 2005 Sym-
siumonSelf-stabilizingSystems(SSS2005)andthe1stIEEE/IFIPInternational
Workshop on Autonomic Grid Networking and Management (AGNM 2005).
Thisbookcontainstheo?cialproceedingsofIPOM2005.Itfeatures21hi-
quality papers grouped into seven technical sessions looking at
O&M for VoIP, IMS and managed IP services, management of open
interfaces, QoS and pricing in NGNs, autonomic communications,
policy-based management, routing and topologies, routing and tools,
as well as experiences from testbeds and trials. Additional papers
presented in two short sessions are published separately.

The beginning of the twenty-first century is characterized by
global markets, and the mobility of people is becoming an important
fact of life. Consequently, the mobile user is demanding
appropriate technical solutions to make use of customized
information and communication services. In this context the notion
of next-generation networks (NGNs), which are driven by the
convergence of the entertainment sector, the mobile Internet, and
fixed/mobile telecommunications, is emerging. Such NGNs are
aggregating a variety of different access networks and supporting
the seamless connection of an open set of end-user devices, and due
to the adoption of an all-IP network paradigm they enable a much
better integration of voice and data services. Coincidently the
buzzword 'fixed mobile convergence' (FMC) describes the current
trend towards providing common services across fixed and mobile
networks resulting in the medium term in the full integration of
fixed and mobile telecommunication networks. The adoption of
appropriate middleware technologies and the provision of - called
service delivery platforms driven by the ongoing innovation in the
field of information technologies provides today the technical
foundation for supporting terminal, personal and service mobility
and thus the implementation of real seamless information and
communication services. Furthermore, users are nowadays looking, in
light of an omnipresent service environment, for a much higher
degree of customization and context awareness in the services they
use. The papers in this volume look at these enabling
mobility-aware technologies and their use for implementing
mobility-aware and context-aware applications.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Mobile Agents for Telecommunication Applications, MATA 2002, held in Barcelona, Spain, in October 2002. The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the proceedings. The papers are organized in topical sections on agent architecture, framework, and platforms; mobile agent frameworks for telecommunication services; mobile agents in active networks; context-aware and ad-hoc communications; distributed monitoring and network management; security of mobile agents; mobile computing and QoS; migration and network management; mobile services; and collaborative environments and services.
