1) General Trends (jpg)
2) Research of Emerging Trends 2010 to 2015 (Gartner)
There are many technologies that are emerging and will deliver emerging
capabilities to business and create emerging business models.
3) How will IMS transform Telecom?
IMS is an emerging architecture standard that defines how network elements
interoperate to providevoice, data, and video services and applications in any
combination, on any network (fixed or mobile). IMS will deliver new applications
that combine voice and data, enable fixed-mobile convergence (FMC), and
reduce carrier OPEX and CAPEX.
4) Gartner's Hype Cycle
Some interesting hype cycles from Gartner are shown below. There are many
evolving technologies that will be transforming businesses and the way businesses will be operating..
In today's organisation, it is vital to network resources, applications, and information assets together in order to share information efficiently. Companies like Nokia and CISCO are looking at different framework and architecture to optimise applications, processes and resources to deliver greater business benefits.
6) Requirements for future service network architectures
A next generation mobile service network has to establish its own value proposition between the stakeholders of next generation mobile service provisioning. It has to place its unique selling points into the overall service-centric environment dealing with a number of different access systems. Mobile networks have the potential to act in a central role within this service environment and is therefore required to be capable of acting as service control environment. It is not the intention to copy all successful Internet services but to support them in an efficient and trustworthy way. The Service Platform Architecture is interfacing to the service and applications at the upper layer of a communication system. The Service Platform Architecture covers service support components (such as Generic Service Elements), their relationship and their internal and external interfaces. It usually targets the upper system layers as depicted in Figure below. However, some functions or parts of them are residing in lower system layers, for example, location or mobility. When considering ubiquitous communications environments, such as sensor networks, the layering is diminishing anyway. Service Architecture for future mobile systems must be able to satisfy requirements from a broad range of services and different kinds of service usage. This can be reflected in the consideration and analysis of various future life scenarios. With this approach a scenario-centered design process can be applied.
