About this title

Synopsis:

• Examines next generation APIs in detail
• Provides broad coverage of several different call models and APIs, including JAIN, JTAPI, JCC, and Parlay
• Discusses technical trade–offs involved in call control modeling and services
• Sample call flows are shown to aid programmers using UML or Java

From the Back Cover:

Learn how open APIs can be used to develop new services to leverage the value of converged Next Generation networks

"The essential open programming standards and the in–depth analysis spelled out in this book are paramount to converging homogeneous networks, providing a common language for the programmer and the network architect."
Douglas Tait, JAIN Founder, Sun Microsystems

"A great book. Programming Converged Networks is the best resource available today for those interested in understanding the history, motivation and details of enabling enriched 2G and 3G services."
Dr. Ard–Jan Moerdijk, former chairman Parlay/OSA Joint Working Group, Head of technology management, Ericsson Netherlands

"Open network APIs will revolutionize the creation of telecom applications and services. This book will help you understand how to use open APIs in designing and implementing novel telecoms applications that are ready for the next generation network, while being usable today."
Zygmunt Lozinski, President, The Parlay Group and IBM Senior Technical Staff Member

"A much needed introduction to unleashing the power of converged network services that are based on open and standardized APIs."
Christian Nord, Solution Strategy Manager & Parlay Board representative, Orange / France Telecom

Providing innovative, value–added services to customers is the key for success in today′s competitive networking arena. This is particularly important for sophisticated converged Next Generation Networks (NGN) integrating wired, wireless, circuit, and IP networks. Call Control models and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) such as JAIN, Parlay/OSA, and Parlay X Web Services are used to develop, enhance, and attach advanced services to voice, data, and multimedia sessions in converged networks.

Programming Converged Networks: Call Control in Java, XML, and Parlay/OSA focuses on the role that APIs for Call Control play in next generation networks and addresses technical issues such as trade–offs between flexibility, performance, and simplicity. Special features include example software code and call flow diagrams using UML, Java, or OMG IDL; design choices and design patterns used by different call models and open API standards; advanced design solutions when programming with open APIs; and network programming using XML. This essential book will serve as an accessible tool for architects, programmers, and engineers; service designers and providers; and graduate students and researchers in telecom, networking, and computer science. Industry consultants and analysts will also find it a useful reference.
