Abstract
A set of multidimensional capabilities allows service-related data to be exchanged among and operate with different hardware platforms and software programs. A trigger based on the call request is received at a switching platform. The trigger activates a service-specific object driver. The object driver is built by interacting with service objects. Once the object driver is built, the service objects are executed with call processing information based on the newly built object driver. During the entire process, network management functions are executed in a fault-tolerant fashion to ensure reliability.
