Telecommunication networks have evolved over time as a result of technological advances, and network topologies and equipment have become increasingly complex. Expert systems are being successfully applied to the management of telecommunication networks. However, applying expert systems to network design is another especially beneficial yet still not very common approach. In this paper we propo...

Dispute resolution, a necessary function in electronic commerce, must rely on evidence that includes mechanisms to ensure non-repudiation of actions by the participants. In open systems comprising computer networks, this ‘‘non-repudiation service’’ is one type of security service defined in the ISO/IEC standards. These, as well as other literature, have defined a system framework for such a ser...

The digital divide touches all regions and economies of the world and threatens to slow progress towards the goal of an all-inclusive information society. Policy makers are faced with the divide’s daunting complexity but have a range of policy tools that have proven effective in expanding access throughout the world. Of these tools, regulatory reform has had perhaps the largest impact in both d...

As the telecommunication world moves towards a data-only network environment, signaling, voice and other data are similarly transported as Internet Protocol packets. New requirements, challenges and opportunities are bound to this transition and in uence telecommunication architectures accordingly. In this time in which the Internet in general, and telecommunication networks in particular, have...

This paper presents possibility to use Telco 2.0 architecture interfaces to realize a service supporting public transport in agglomerations. Such systems are expected to be easily accessible for everyone and to be available in any location. Such expectations may only be met by a system using the latest achievements in the scope of telecommunication, which are API based on telecommunication oper...

Global telecommunication systems are built with extensive redundancy and complex management systems to ensure robustness. Fault identi cation and management of this complexity is an open research issue with which data mining can greatly assist. This paper proposes a hybrid data mining architecture and a parallel genetic algorithm (PGA) applied to the mining of Bayesian Belief Networks (BBN) fro...
