  • Decoupling service creation environment from service logic execution environment
    Patent number: 5991803
    Abstract: A service creation environment (SCE) generates generic service creation information defining a certain service. The generic service creation information is then processed by a service execution agent for mapping onto service creation information that is specific to the service logic execution environment (SLEE) of a service control point (SCP) upon which the service is to be executed and provided. This SLEE specific service creation information is then down-loaded to the service logic execution environment, and converted in a conventional manner to service execution related information. The generic service creation information comprises only a certain limited number of primitives (instructions or commands) operating on a certain limited number of service independent building blocks (SIBs).
