Abstract :
Modern telecommunication networks and classical roles of operators are subject to fundamental change.Many network operators are currently seeking for new sources to generate revenue by exposing network capabilities to 3rd party service providers. At the same time we can observe that applications on the World Wide Web (WWW) are adding more and more (real-time) communication features, mostly without involving telecommunications operators. This report describes our approach to include telecommunications service enabler into WWW mash-ups or other 3rd party applications by defining a policy-based service broker that mediates between the 3rd party applications and real-time communication service enablers. Furthermore, defined policies serve besides service access definitions as a flexible expression for user/service-specific capabilities.
