Abstract
A method and apparatus for implementing new services is disclosed whereby a model of the system implementing a new service is created by a function referred to herein as a Service Designer and then different views of the service from the perspective of individual OSS subsystems are published at a Service Hub for use in configuring new services. When a request for service arrives at a subsystem in the network, such as an ordering system, that subsystem will illustratively request a view of the service from the Service Hub. This view is representative of the interfaces and attributes common between the requesting subsystem and other network components, with interfaces to the requesting subsystem. The requesting subsystem then uses this view to transmit values of attributes that are defined to be communicated between the requesting subsystem and other network components.
