A method of service planning and control for the intelligent dynamic service provisioning system

With the advent of various information and communication services, it has b ecome difficult for the end user to select appropriately the service corres ponding to his objective. In addition, there are some modes of providing se rvice by connection among several service providers, so that the service pr oviding process is expected to be more complex and longer. Therefore, the e nd user may not receive service when it is desired. In order to solve these problems, the authors propose intelligent dynamic service provisioning, a new concept for provisioning in our multimedia society. In this article, in regard to the intelligent dynamic service provisioning, a method is propos ed for selecting and controlling the service in response to the service dem and of the end user appropriately to the terminal. system and network condi tions. By means of a prototype based on the proposed method, the effectiven ess of the method is verified. (C) 2000 Scripta Technica.
