20100218202Method and Apparatus for Case-Based Service Composition - An apparatus for creating composite services includes a processing unit which identifies at least one constituent component for a composite service by a processor unit. The constituent component has a runtime state. The apparatus includes a data-store having past composition decisions and corresponding runtime states. The processing unit locates a past composition decision regarding the constituent component that has essentially the equivalent runtime state in the data-store, and reuses the past composition decision for the constituent component for the composite service. A method for creating composite services includes the steps of identifying at least one constituent component for a composite service by a processor unit, the constituent component having a runtime state. There is the step of locating a past composition decision regarding the constituent component that has essentially the equivalent runtime state in a data-store by the processing unit. There is the step of reusing the past composition decision for the constituent component for the composite service by the processor unit.08-26-2010
20110142216CONTROLLING THE CHARGING OF A COMPOSITE SERVICE - Methods and devices for controlling a charging of a composite service in a telecommunications network are described. The composite service comprises an invocation of a constituent service. The telecommunications network comprises a control node for controlling the composite service, a service node for providing the constituent service, and a charging system for performing the charging. The method comprises the steps of receiving from the service node a first usage report comprising charging indicators related to the invocation of the constituent service, receiving from the control node control information related to the composite service, the control information indicating that the invocation of the constituent service is associated to the invocation of the composite service, generating a further usage report by changing the charging indicators according to the control information, and sending the further usage report to the charging system to instruct the charging system to perform the charging according to the further usage report.06-16-2011

20110131277Composite Services Provision Within A Telecommunications Network - The invention refers to a method of correlating a plurality of service instances by a service composition entity, wherein the services are performed by one or a plurality of servers of a telecommunications network. Thereto, the service composition entity performs the steps of invoking a composite service instance corresponding to the service request, and generating a composite service identifier identifying this composite service instance, contacting the one or a plurality of application servers for invoking the plurality of component service instances, wherein the plurality of component service instances are associated to the composite service instance, and sending a first service report comprising an information about the composite service instance to a service supervision system, wherein this information enables the service supervision system to identify reports about the component service instances as being associated to the composite service instance. The invention further proposes a service composition entity for correlating the plurality of service instances, and a service supervision system for monitoring, supervising or controlling the composite service instance.06-02-2011
