The invention concerns a method for providing a service for users of a telecommunication network. Service calls requesting the execution of the service for an respective one of the users are routed to a service switching exchange of the telecommunication network or are respectively routed to one of several service switching exchanges of the telecommunication network. A corespondent service request is sent by the respective service switching exchange, that has received the respective service call, to a service control facility or to one of several possible service control facilities. For each such service request received from the or each service switching exchange a service session object, which is able to interact and communicate via an object infrastructure with other objects in a object oriented computing environment, is created within the or each service control facility and the respective service session object controls the execution of the service for the respective service call.

Method of providing a service to users of a telecommunication network, service control facility, and processing node

The invention concerns a method for communicating between a service switching exchange of a telecommunication network, to which service calls requesting the execution of a service for a subscriber of the telecommunication network are routed, and a service control facility, which controls the execution of the requested service. The service switching exchange interacts with one or several objects of the service control facility via an transaction capability application part protocol. Each such object interacts and communicates via an object infrastructure with other objects in an object oriented computing environment within the service control facility. The interface of each such object maps the primitives of the transaction capability application part protocol onto the internal interface description of the each such object.

Method for communicating between a service switching exchange of a telecommunication network and service control facility

The invention concerns a method for providing a service for users of a telecommunication network. Service calls requesting the execution of the service for an respective one of the users are routed to a service switching exchange of the telecommunication network or are respectively routed to one of several service switching exchanges of the telecommunication network. A corresponding service request is sent by the respective service switching exchange, that has received the respective service call, to a service control facility or to one of several possible service control facilities. The service request is routed to a particular one of a plurality of servers of the service control facility, which are formed on top of an object infrastructure within an object oriented computing environment The particular server acts as service repository server and determines another one of the plurality of servers that is available and able to execute the control of the service for the respective service call.
