Abstract
The deregulated telecommunication market tends to force network operators to open their infrastructure to third party service providers to offer a large variety of services. This trend is already appearing, particularly in the mobile environment, and it is widely admitted that this situation will not take a long time to be applied to the information technology (IT) communications, thereby creating a strong competition between the different network actors. In this context, one of the major stakes for both operators and service providers is to be capable of quickly providing new and attractive services. For instance, ondemand service creation and deployment will enable the diversification of the service offerings and will provide more business opportunities. This article presents an approach for a dynamic service deployment based on the virtual active networks (VAN) concept. In particular, we present the ASMA (Active Service Management Architecture) platform which we developed to provide an environment allowing flexible service deployment and management.
