Abstract: A software-implemented, distributed service integration system which provides an open environment for the development of new services, and their integration with the existing network, with the integration being performed by the service integration system administrator, which is also responsible for the service development. Thus, the procedure of developing and integrating of new services is shorter and cheaper than is common in telephony service integration systems. An example of a new service which is integrated with the existing network infrastructure includes the development by the service developer of a sophisticated billing service that uses a carrier's billing infrastructure. The inventive system also provides, through a modifiable policy defined by the system administrator, service-level control of the packet flow both within the service integration system and between the service integration system and the communications network. The inventive system also provides visibility into the signaling process to services deployed on it, offering direct communication with different protocols such as IP, SS7 etc., by means of network adaptation components.

Abstract: An intelligent network implementing processes and apparatus for supporting ATM/Vnet services. The intelligent network comprises the ability to receive an ATM VNET call at an ATM switch associated with a service node of the intelligent network, translate the dialed VNET number and then extend the call to a correct termination. Prior to the outdial, source address and subscription validation, destination address screening, source address screening and VNET number translation are performed. In one embodiment, assuming that the VNET call is an ATM to ATM call, no number translation is required. In placing Vnet/ATM calls, the network does all resource allocation, e.g., bandwidth reservation and allocation. The resource specification in the ATM setup message (e.g., bandwidth) is validated against the customer's subscription versus the current network utilization.

Abstract: System and methodology for providing real-time call processing services received at a switch in an intelligent network having one or more service nodes having originating switches for receiving a call event. The system includes a platform-independent communication system for enabling communication between object instances executing at service nodes in the intelligent network. An operating system agent object instance executing in an execution environment associated with an originating switch communicates call origination information corresponding to a call event received at the switch to one or more object instances executing in an execution environment provided at a service node in the network; the object instances including a line object instance for maintaining the state of a communications line associated with a call origination, and, a service object implementing methods for performing a service according to a customer request. A first database storage device accessible by the service object provides call routing information according to a customer's subscription. A second database storage device is accessible by the service object to provide a corresponding terminating switch location address at a node in the network for the call based on the retrieved call routing information. The platform-independent communication system communicates call routing commands between the service object and at least the line object instance, for enabling call connection between originating and terminating switches independent of their location in the network.
