Abstract
An Intelligent Network (IN) is a general concept network command architecture to enable the rapid introduction of new services by rearranging the basic functions of transport information mainly (voice, data, and images). Modern telecommunication networks are complex distributed systems that require high monitoring level using specific management network tools. An IN management scheme for ISO Interface is presented in this paper. The interface ensures different interactions through a set of services called Input/Output Services between desktop applications and voice terminals. Such services are designed in order to allow computer applications to provide users with enhanced features tacking advantages from the wide variety of telephony device characteristics and types. Basically, we suggest a software switch-based interaction scheme. The switch-based software object called Information-Path, is associated with the device that allows input to be received from the device and output to be sent to the device. The management scheme is suitable for multimedia interactive telecommunications. It covers applications that involve only voice calls (Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) B channel), only data calls (ISDN D channel), or both voice calls and data calls (both ISDN B channel and ISDN D channel). This makes the proposed system suitable for multimedia communications that involve voice, data and graphics. The feasibility and applicability of our proposal is demonstrated through a set of applications scenarios that involve multimedia mails exchanges.
