Abstract
A switching-oriented process sequencing according to the principle of object-oriented program includes a plurality of object-related structure elements for the implementation of different switching-oriented functions. Objects for the realization of specific switching-oriented functions are instanced by these structure elements, these objects communicating with one another by method calls. It is thereby provided that the network layer for the subscriber signaling defined according to the OSI-7 layer model is subdivided into a plurality of sub-layers. Each of these sub-layers is realized by a structure element hierarchy including at least one structure element. The calling and called subscriber side defined for the subscriber signaling is represented in each structure element of the respective structure element hierarchy by at least one separate object. Objects of one and the same subscriber side thereby communicate directly with one another via quasi-asynchronous method calls, whereas objects of the respective sub-layer of different subscriber sides communicate directly with one another via asynchronous internal events.
