Abstract: Techniques for automated generation of rules associated with network functions are presented. A template generator component can generate, for each network function (NF), a rule template associated with the NF based on rule format parameters associated with an application or user, wherein the rule template can comprise a group of rule elements and one or more tags associated with one or more variables associated with the NF. A rule generator component can, for each desired event associated with each NF, automatically generate a rule based on the rule template and event-related data of a data file received from a user. As part of rule generation, for each tag, the rule generator component can identify the tag in the rule template, based on a tag indicator indicative of the tag, and replace the tag in the rule template with an item of the event-related data that relates to the variable.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards automated generation of network data visualization dashboards. Automation can be achieved through the use of templates and data files. Templates can be combined with any of multiple different data files to produce network data visualization dashboard files. Different combinations of templates and different data files can result in different network data visualization dashboard files. The network data visualization dashboard files can be provided to a data visualization tool, platform, or service, which can generate network data visualization dashboards according to received network data visualization files.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for allowing VoIP service providers to detect service address changes of IP service subscribers are disclosed. Specifically, when a power cycle, e.g., powering off and on, of a particular VoIP endpoint device, such as a Terminal Adaptor (TA) or a soft phone client, is detected, a service provider may assume that the service address of the subscriber has changed. Therefore, appropriate actions can be taken by the service provider to obtain the latest service address from the subscriber to ensure accurate service address information is available, e.g., in support of an emergency call through the particular VoIP endpoint device.

Abstract: A network assisted callback method and system for managing calls that fail to reach to a subscriber, and facilitating callback by the subscriber to one or more calling parties. In an embodiment of the invention, a call to a subscriber is routed to an interexchange network which attempts to complete the connection. If the caller fails to reach the subscriber, the network prompts the caller to determine whether a callback is desired, and to verify and obtain additional information. The network stores the information in a subscriber database file-folder. When the subscriber later decides to return phone calls, the subscriber dials an 800 number from any telephone station in order to access the network callback features. The network callback service may include automatic connection to the most recent calling party, or selective connection to any calling party.
