Abstract
Next Generation Network (NGN) has drawn great attention by the researchers and telecommunication industries as the future generation in the communication technologies and services. The interest covers all aspects on NGN from the global standards, architecture and services. The management of services provided in the NGN environment has posed great challenges due to the heterogeneity of the service protocols, service requirements and specifications and service functionalities. The research proposes enhancement of the automated service management through embedding the semantic service descriptions that can be referenced to the service ontology for service creation and management into the Next Generation Network, which will become Semantic Next Generation Network (SNGN).
Highlights
ITU-T defines Generation Network (NGN) as follows [1]:“A Generation Network (NGN) is a packet-based network which can provide services including Telecommunication Services and able to make use of multiple broadband, Quality of Service-enabled transport technologies such that the service-related functions are independent from underlying transport-related technologies

Summary
ITU-T defines Generation Network (NGN) as follows [1]:. It offers unrestricted access by users to different service providers. It supports generalized mobility which will allow consistent and ubiquitous provision of services to users.” [2]. There is a more well-defined separation between transportation (network) and application layer. IP Multimedia System (thereafter IMS) provides the underlying infrastructure and foundation of the generation networks [3]. The research proposes ontologybased architecture for automated service creation and management of IMS or namely Semantic Generation Network (SNGN). The service architecture is developed around the IMS functionalities and several majority protocols. The principle and outline of the converged technologies, different types of platforms and network elements are briefly described to establish basic understanding on them
