Abstract:
This paper considers the web service environment for Telco applications, as defined recently by the Parlay-X Working Group within the Parlay organisation. These services include messaging, location, payment, call control, presence, group management, etc. and open the way to rapid service creation and integration with internet applications. However, some vital issues for the telecommunications industry such as the secure user access to a service and its personalization have not been addressed yet sufficiently. The Web Services Run Time Environment Extension (WSRTE) presented in this paper is a light, vendor-independent frame-work that facilitates the creation of personalized web services by combining security and profiling functions.
