Converging Standards: IMS & BSS/OSS

The emergence of rapid service creation environments such as IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) and Service Delivery Platforms (SDP), and the resulting "services wave" is having a profound impact on traditional OSS/BSS systems. This session will examine the new priorities resulting from the multiservice architectures and will describe the emerging OSS/BSS solutions that support these priorities. Special focus will be placed on the key integration points between the service platforms and OSS/BSS, as well as the enabling role of SOA. OSS/J has been at the forefront of defining, in an open-standard fashion, OSS-specific APIs and design guidelines for mainstream technologies such as J2EE and XML. This work is based in part on the TeleManagement Forum's New Generation OSS (NGOSS) Shared Information/Data (SID) Model and represents an implementation view of the NGOSS architecture.
