A method for effecting communication between devices in a communications network, the method comprising managing a communications process control flow; providing a plurality of re-usable components of the process control flow in which each component comprises a process control activity between two of the devices; aggregating the plurality of re-usable components into a sequence of the communications process control flow; in which each re-usable component is arranged to process a data structure; in which the data structure is the same for each re-usable component of the communications process control flow.

Service assembly architecture

A multi-user communications service is configured by: setting up a choreography linking a plurality of user process control flows and a multi-user service configuration process; receiving via the choreography at the multi-user service configuration process requests from the plurality of user process control flows for access to the multi-user communications service and granting access to the multi-user communications service to selected users; in which the choreography provides a fixed interface supporting the independent reconfiguration of the user process control flows and the multi-user service configuration process.
