Abstract:

Recently a series of telecommunications companies together with computer hardware/software companies (Sun, IBM) committed their efforts for building abstractions from multivendor, multiprotocol telephony devices and protocols. These efforts materialized into various products and standards. Most recently the PARLAY group published a set of recommendations called the PARLAY APIs. Sun introduced a JAVA environment with a set of APIs for Integrated Networks called JAIN (pending publication), and IBM produced the JSLEE server, which integrates the JAIN and JCC classes of Sun in an automated Java environment for the implementation of telephony based applications. A Java environment of this kind includes a JSLEE server which permits differing services to be provisioned to customers. Whenever an update of a service provisioned to a particular customer is required, such update is carried out centrally at a service creation point. In the service creation point, data defining the current executable code deployed at the JSLEE server for that customer is recovered to enable recreation of the existing executable code to be carried out. The current code may then be modified regardless of which service creation point is carrying out the modification.
