This book provides the first overview of the service technologies available to telecoms operators working in a post-convergence world. Previous books have focused either on computer networks or on telecoms networks. This is the first to bring the two together and provide a single reference source for information that is currently only to be found in disparate journals, tool specifications and standards documents.
In order to provide such broad coverage of the topic in a structured and logical fashion, the book is divided into 3 parts.
The first part looks at the underlying network support for services and aims to explain the technology that makes the user-visible services possible. This section covers multimedia networking, both traditional (legacy) and future (softswitch) call processing, intelligent networks, the Internet, and Wireless networks.
Part 2 deals with how these services may be analysed and managed. Chapters cover topics such as commercial issues, service management, quality of service, security, standards and APIs.
Part 3 concludes the book by looking ahead at evolving technologies and more speculative possibilities, discussing the kinds of services that may be possible in the future and the technologies that will support them.

Today's communications infrastructure serves a demanding public. Networks must accommodate voice and data, text and multimedia, intelligence and responsiveness. They must provide quality of service, flexibility as well as security, and connect seamlessly to mobile and fixed devices.
Service Provision. Technologies for Next Generation Communication takes in the broad sweep of developments in communications services. The breadth of the field and the pace of technological change make it difficult to keep abreast of developments outside one's own area of expertise. This books helps by bringing together the combined expertise of the contributors on a wide range of topics, including:
Kenneth J. Turner is the editor of Service Provision: Technologies for Next Generation Communications, published by Wiley.
Evan H. Magill is the editor of Service Provision: Technologies for Next Generation Communications, published by Wiley.
David J. Marples is the editor of Service Provision: Technologies for Next Generation Communications, published by Wiley.
