Abstract: Described are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products for transforming call control and dialog elements for telephony service applications from an intermediate language into a target language. A module that includes a plurality of elements is generated. At least a first element of the plurality of elements is a call control element and at least a second element of the plurality of elements is a dialog element. The call control element defines control of at least one call event associated with the dialog element. The module is stored in an intermediate design file, which is based on one or more intermediate languages. At least a part of the intermediate design file is transformed, using a transformation rule, into one or more target design files, which are based on one or more target languages. The one or more target languages are different from the one or more intermediate languages.

Abstract: Described are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products for generating an integrated call control and dialog application. A graphical user interface is provided. A user is enabled, using the graphical user interface, to select an element from a plurality of elements. The plurality of elements include at least one call control element and at least one dialog element. The at least one call control element define control of at least one call event associated with the at least one dialog element. A module for telephony applications is generated using the graphical user interface.

Abstract: A switch, which connects ports on a customer port module to ports on a network port module via time slots on a dime division multiplexing bus, determines for each connection a number of required time slots, based on the current switch configuration and/or the signal traffic at the associated port. The switch then determines if it has the required number of time slots available generally and if it can make the time slots available to the port. If so, the switch assigns the time slots to the port and completes the connection. The switch determines the number of time slots required by consulting a stored port type indicator table, which lists bandwidth demand based on port type, or by detecting in-band signaling information that indicates the bandwidth demand. If the table indicates that the switch includes non-blocking ports, the switch coordinates the number of time slots allocated to a connection with the number of slots required to be kept free for the non-blocking ports.
