Meshing up telecommunication and IT resources seems to be the real challenge for supporting the evolution towards the next generation of Web Services. In telecom world, JAIN-SLEE (JAIN Service Logic Execution Environment) is an emerging standard specification for Java service platforms targeted to host value added services, composed of telecom and IT services.In this paper we describe StarSLEE ...

The emerging area of Multimodality can be well demonstrated in the operation of a Telecom. Within France Telecom there are thriving fixline, Internet and mobile businesses that can benefit from the use of Multimodal interactions. In todays networks, Multimodal interactions are particularly relevant to the mobile space, where constraints of the network and handset have a driving influence on the...

Although knowledge spillovers have long been considered a critical element for development of technology clusters by facilitating innovations, the relationship between characteristics of knowledge spillover network and regional cluster’s growth is ambiguous. Based on patent co-authorship data, we construct inventor networks for two geographical telecom clusters – New Jersey and Texas – and inve...

In the past, electronic commerce only focused on customer-to-business web interaction and on business-tobusiness web interaction. With the emergence of business process management and of service-oriented architecture, the focus has shifted to the development of e-services that integrate business processes and that diversify functionalities available to customers. The potential of electronic com...

India has emerged as one of the fastest growing telecom markets in the world and witnessed a telecommunication revolution in the last two decades. In the recent time, the Indian telecom industry is experiencing a major transformation with stagnating revenues, declining ARPU’s, and stiff competition, which is overall impacting its performance. The present study seeks to explore the future growth...

Intention of the study was to quantitatively analyze the factors based on which telecom service providers can formulate strategy to satisfy customers to get an edge over the competitors. And we will see how Business Process Management and Re-engineering might play the role of a weapon to Indian Telco service providers. The elements of the business processes of the Telecom domain, which affect c...

Convergence is a hot topic in the communication industry. The wide spread popularity of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a clear indication that independent networks will be integrated into a single IP-based infrastructure referred to as Next Generation Networks (NGN) in the near future. The services, network architectures and traffic pattern in NGN will dramatically differ from the current net...

Due to the convergence of voice, data, and video, today’s telecom operators are facing the complexity of service and network management to offer differentiated value-added services that meet customer expectations. Without the operations support of well-developed Business Support System/Operations Support System (BSS/OSS), it is difficult to timely and effectively provide competitive services up...

Mid-infrared light generation through four-wave mixing-based frequency down-conversion in a normal group velocity dispersion silicon waveguide is demonstrated. A telecom-wavelength signal is down-converted across more than 1.2 octaves using a pump at 2190 nm in a 1 cm-long waveguide. At the same time, a 13 dB on-chip parametric gain of the telecom signal is obtained.
