The upcoming communication aim will not focus on connecting humans by different kinds of multimedia services, but also connecting machines of different aspects, providing a global smart world. The telecommunication industry is currently moving towards service-oriented infrastructures based on Internet Protocol (IP), Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), and Service Delivery Platforms (SDP). In this...
This paper analyzes the impact of the fast-growing BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) trend in the corporate mobile market, which blurs lines between business and personal usage. To enable selective funding and resource optimization for BYOD, we propose that the enterprise determines its own service delivery policy, using an enterprise Business Context (eBC) Policy tool. The enterprise is best placed to...
In traditional telecommunication networks, server resources are statically allocated to session control systems based on demand forecasting. However, the open platform on which third party developers provide various applications has recently made demand prediction difficult. In addition, static allocation concerning load peak results in less resource utilization during nonpeak times, and is not capable...
We introduce a term called mobile social phonebook, which refers to the integration of traditional mobile phone contacts with contacts from mobile Internet communication services that is happening in the mobile device's phonebook. First, mobile phone user perceptions towards mobile social phonebooks are studied by means of semi-structured interviews. The results of the interviews are combined with...
The current trend in mobile telecommunications is towards accommodating an increased data traffic throughput for a large number of subscribers. For this, the mobile operators are deploying more efficient access and core network technologies resulting in higher data rates at specific geographic locations responding to the future internet communication requirements. However, the new technologies come...
The present paper builds on to previous papers presented at ICIN. We present and evaluate trends in the IMS network. Specifically, we look at how Multimedia communication service, including, but not limited to, voice calls, video calls and messaging, can be enhanced with Value Added Services (VAS). VAS has, since its inception two decades ago, undergone architectural changes, in order to adapt to...

The IP Multimedia Subsystem architecture, proposed by the 3GPP consortium as a basis to support the convergence between mobile networks and the Internet, states that Session Control components are implemented through Session Initiation Protocol. The Session Initiation Protocol is an application layer protocol used to establish, modify and terminate sessions between devices. In the last years, studies...
Complex Event Processing (CEP) is a key technology for processing of data, the use of which has increased rapidly in recent years. Network service providers are expected to offer new services through network connectivity between distributed devices as data source, data processing systems like CEP and users of the final results. Reduction of the peak traffic is one of the important issues for the network...
Proper handling of incoming calls depending on the location and availability of the callee is important both for the individual and for the organization in which they belong. The recent proliferation of smart phones can provide the end user with new graphical representations of relevant configurations, and open up for new ways of triggering notifications. This is demonstrated by the EasyMobile from...
Attracted by impressive cash flows and success stories, mobile application developers are trying to penetrate the mobile application market more than ever. Despite this increasing interest, the market configuration is certainly not always clear, let alone how to formulate an optimal business and revenue model from a developer's or provider's viewpoint. Based on case study research, we identified business...
We propose a novel cloud service platform “Office on Demand” (OOD) and its architecture. OOD functions as a cloud service marketplace targeted mainly for small and medium businesses (SMBs) with the needs to quickly prepare an ICT infrastructure for their business, to use network services without a complex configuration setup, and to use mobile terminal devices as fixed terminal devices. We also propose...
Mobiles are an integral part of daily life. With time, customers are expecting good and very versatile applications in less time. It is a big challenge to develop high performance mobile applications in this competitive market that would meet the expectation of customers. Mobile operating systems vendors are giving their best available resources for making applications in more convenient ways, although...
In this paper we propose a method of translating enterprise business objectives into service delivery policy rules in Mobile Broadband networks. This enables enterprises to control their own session policies for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) users and apply selective funding with prioritized service delivery. The proposed eBC (enterprise Business Context) Policy process uses internal corporate data...
The Web of Things paradigm brings the available and strongly-supported Web standards closer to the development of applications for heterogeneous environment of smart things regardless of their native operating systems, linking physical and cyber world. Considering the Web of Things architecture, we propose a framework that allows users and communities to create composite services sensitive to context...
The registration process stores presence information in the presence server, which includes ID for authorization, registered date and time, and location. The reference process loads the presence information using the ID as a search key. Safety confirmation service registers a user's presence and refers to his/her friend's presence. However, existing systems require separate operations for registration...
While advances in commercial video conferencing and social networking are driving more people to communicate using video, it is still difficult to achieve a sense of co-presence - that is to make the technology transparent to its users - when mediating ad hoc interactions between groups of people in different locations. This paper presents an ambitious plan to define and demonstrate a platform for...
Recent years have seen a fundamental shift in the way that mobile applications are delivered to users. Developers are increasingly moving away from custom deployment approaches towards the use of platform markets for advertising and distributing their applications. Application developers use the platform to manage distribution and payment for applications. In return the application developer pays...
