6、mary This Supplement contains objectives, scope, requirements, approaches, and introductory overview of Signalling and Protocol Framework for an Evolving Environment (SPFEE). It provides a signalling and protocol framework for an evolving environment and related specification(s) where applicable for
7、 those telecommunications-related systems in the coming broadband and information era. Primary area of SPFEE is Session related framework and specifications (e.g. interfaces provided for “clients“ of Session related components and those required from them to the underljing components). SPFEE covers
8、the control plane (signalling) aspects, with management plane aspects also included as a part of the problem domain. Source Supplement 27 to ITU-T Q-series Recommendations was prepared by ITU-T Study Group 11 (1 997-2000) and approved under the WTSC Resolution 5 procedure on 3 December 1999. Keyword

FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent
10、 organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishe
11、s the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standard
12、s are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and IEC. NOTE In this publication, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.

24、signalling and protocol framework for an evolving environment and related specification(s) where applicable for those telecommunications-related systems in the coming broadband and information era. SPFEE will take the opportunity to incorporate advantages of the latest information technologies, e.g.
25、 ODP, for achieving its goal, while keeping interoperability with evolving telecommunications technologies including IN CSx (x = 1,2,3,), TMN, B-ISDN, IMT-2000, UPT, and Multimedia: o SPFEE will be based on distributed processing technologies and object orientation. SPFEE will use the enterprise, in
26、formation, and computational viewpoints as defined in o Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP). The enterprise viewpoint needs to be examined for clarifying the requirements. 1) “correlate“ SPFEE with other ongoing activities, such as IN CS-3, TMN, and B-ISDN, e.g. to provide evolut

35、ationship: An association between two business roles. 3.3 business role: The expected function performed by a stakeholder in a telecommunications business environment. 3.4 contract: A contract is the context defining constrains for one or more reference points to operate under. 3.5 reference point:
36、The manifestation of a business relationship in the telecommunication system. The reference point consists of several viewpoint related specifications governed by a contract. 3.6 stakeholder: A party that holds a business interest or concern in the telecommunications business. A stakeholder owns one
37、 or -more business administrative domains. 3.7 session: A temporary relationship among a group of objects that are assigned to collectively fulfill a task for a period of time. A session has a state that may change during its lifetime. The session represents an abstract, simplified view of the manag
38、ement and usage of the objects and their shared information. 3.8 access session: A temporary relationship established when two domains are bound together securely. The early stage of the access session is the agreement of terms between domains to continue interaction and authentication. Security pro
39、tection may be delegated to subsequent service sessions. 3.9 service session: A temporary relationship represented by information and functionality related to capabilities to execute, control and manage services. The capabilities include service specific control, generic session controls, and manage
40、ment capabilities. A service session is an instance of a service type and includes information necessary to negotiate QoS, security context, use of service and communication resources, and to control relationships among participating members of the service session. 3.10 communication session (resour
41、ce): A temporary relationship represented by a general, service view of stream connections and a network technology-independent view of the communication resources required to establish end-to-end connections. A communication session can handle multiple connections that may be multipoint and multime
