SPICE: A SERVICE PLATFORM FOR FUTURE MOBILE IMS SERVICES

摘要

Today's wireless and mobile service platforms are typically monolithic and centralized in nature, and they do not support heterogeneous service access and the sharing of service usage experience. New sources of revenue for providers are expected to include tailored, personalized, and dynamically composed services that are fast to market, cost efficient, and provide compelling user experience. To meet the current market needs, the SPICE service delivery platform extends the conventional IMS by supporting advanced added-value services that are composed of more primitive services. We describe the IMS role and functions in SPICE, and the use of ontology and Semantic Web technologies for achieving a better knowledge management in mobile service platforms.
