Summary of Session 4: SDP standardization status and

requirements

Huilan Lu, Ph.D.SG 13 Vice Chairman

ITU Workshop on “Service Delivery Platforms (SDP) for

Telecommunication Ecosystems: from today’s realities to requirements and

challenges of the future”

(Geneva, Switzerland, 17 October 2011 )

Geneva, Switzerland, 17 October 2011 2

Summary (1/3)

There are good synergies on SDP-related efforts among ATIS CSF, IEEE P1903, ITU-T SG 13, and OMA

ITU-T SG 13 has published Recommendations on open service environments and NGN-SIDE requirements, and is, among other things, developing the NGN-SIDE functional architecture and resource management for virtualized network-based cloud services (Y.VNC)

ATIS CSF has completed the CDN Interconnection Use Case Specification and High Level Requirements and continues on a fast track to address the next priorities, including CDN-I, Telepresence, Cloud Lifecycle Checklist, Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), Virtual Private Network (VPN)-Oriented Data Center Services (VDCS)

IEEE P1903 is addressing service composition, content delivery, and self-organizing management

OMA standardizes key aspects of the SDP, including enablers, policy enforcement, and APIs, and has developed many related specifications.

Summary (2/3)

Future challenges and requirements include

Real-time transactions for M2M

Service components and 3rd-party applications running in the users’ devices

Security of users' devices and applications running there

Flexible accounting and payment model to allow, e.g., a service component to be executed on behalf of a specific user

Ever faster pace of related standardization efforts, and balance of commercial interests and true openness

Instant composition of Web user interface

SDPs interconnection/federation for geographical pervasiveness

3

Summary (3/3)

Dynamically adaptive, context aware, and self organizing services

Dynamic offering, negotiation and subscription for accessing the exposed service components

High Efficient Rule Engine for service adaptation

Dynamic update of policies for protecting the exposed service components (e.g., policies on load control), according to the changes to the active subscriptions

Dynamic mechanisms for optimizing the allocation of resources according to the requests of the applications, and for guaranteeing a fair use of them in the open marketplace

Decentralized (distributed) SDPs

All services on demand (i.e., cloud-based SDP)

Data enhanced SDP (e.g. via data mining capabilities)
