In this paper, we concentrate on the management landscape of current and future networks, unfolding a vision of advanced analytics and machine learning approaches to mitigate the unavoidable complexity of future networks. We explore proficient Deep Learning mechanisms and Cognitive Frameworks...

Teleradiology consists of a set of added-value telematic services, implemented over an advanced telecommunications infrastructure and supported by different information technologies and related applications. The main goal of teleradiology is to provide different levels of support for remote diagnostic imaging procedures. This paper considers technological advances in this important area, includ...

The telecommunications environment is changing its face towards an open market of information services where the vision is "information any time, at any place, in any form". Within this electronic market the aspects of service customization and instant service provision are of fundamental importance. In this context a new paradigm is gaining momentum, referred to as "Intelligent Agents". This p...

Abstract TINA (Telecommunications Information Networking Architecture) concepts and principles are introduced with the objective of correcting problems of centralized service control and service data model existing in IN (Intelligent Network). Now, TINA has been designed with the goal to offer an universal vision of telecommunications services, it answers to the increasing needs of fast develop...

In 1994 the author was commissioned by a European telecommunications company to perform an economic analysis of both procedural and object-oriented programming languages used for telecommunications software. It is appropriate to revisit this study in 1997 using several years of additional data. The expansion of object-oriented (OO) programming languages and methodologies has brought with it a n...

This paper analyzes the efforts made by the Telefonica Group (the main Spanish firm in the telecommunications sector) to evolve from a bureaucratic culture to another oriented towards Total Quality and the customer. The need for this change came as a result of the liberalization in the telecommunications sector in the early nineties. This new context generated a problem that affected the basis ...
