Providing an holistic approach to IMS technologies, IMS: ADevelopment and Deployment Perspective explores servicearchitecture for development and delivery of IMS services. Approaching IMS from the perspective of the user and the serviceprovider it examines both the current state of deployment andfuture trends. The book offers a realistic view of IMS deploymentto operators and service providers, giving practical examples,application cases and business models. It also presents IMSdeployment strategies based on real-life deployment statistics froma live IMS test bed connected to an operator network andproof-of-concept applications including inter-operability trialsand results.
Focusing on IMS potential in terms of service creation, servicecomposition and service provision the book discusses the ability ofIMS to act not only as a service delivery framework, but also as aservice integration framework. It presents the possible future ofIMS in terms of convergence with Internet services, includingdiscussions about integration with web technologies including theWIMS 2.0 initiative. The book enables a better understanding of howweb technologies can complement the IMS service architecture andpioneer the post-IMS progress and success.
