The evolutionary change of telecommunications networks towards all-IP mechanisms has begun to collapse the traditional boundaries between IT and telecommunications infrastructure. The IT data center has for years been the location for web-based services and applications. As the telecommunications environment becomes all-IP, more and more network functions will be available as pure software func...

Changing conditions in current telecommunications markets created a greater need for telecommunications companies to provide a wider range of products and to produce them fast and flexible. To be successful in the Next-Generation markets for communications and content products the modern telecommunications companies are under pressure to review and optimise their business processes and organisa...

1. IntroductionWith the emergence of next generation mobile communications technology, known as “5G”, telecommunications industry faces a major disruption and transformation. 5G technology aims to interconnect people globally create real-world wireless networked societies (Mitra & Agrawal, 2015).

The Pan-Pacific Education and Communications Experiments by Satellite (PEACESAT) Program, sponsored by the U.S. Congress and the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), was re-established in 1989 through the use of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) GOES-3 satellite. Since its formal opening in 1992, the PEACESAT regi...

The software agent paradigm has evolved from a specialised stream of distributed artificial intelligence because of the emerging and commercially important need for software systems to inter-operate via heterogeneous networks. However, the software agent paradigm has taken a considerable amount of time to come to fruition in the communications domain, especially in the telecommunications world....

Purpose This Solution Brief highlights the issues facing both communications equipment providers and telecommunications carriers as they strive to deal with a changing competitive landscape of hybrid players, legacy systems and customer churn. Case studies from the biggest and best telecommunications companies show you how IT and Business have used BPM (Business Process Management) disciplines ...

Interoperability among telecommunications systems, possibly by different vendors, is essential for both the development of many telecommunications networks, and today's civilization development. Interoperability testing is very costly, as it has a complexity of (n**2) for n systems, and somewhat informal. In this paper, we develop a 'Conformance Testing (CT)'-based formal technique to determine...
