Abstract:
From the 90’s, the telecommunications service creation industry has undergone radical change. Services have
shifted from being based on a switching environment to being mainly based on software. To remain competitive
in these new dynamic conditions of an open market, telecommunications organizations need to produce
high quality services at low prices within short periods of time. Concerning Service Providers, they need an
overall representation of service creation taking in all business, management, and technical activities. To reduce
their concept-to-market time for new services, they also need tools specialized for their tasks and domain.
In this position paper, we argue that a telecommunications profile for an Enterprise Architecture modeling language
answers these needs. We also design a telecommunications profile for ArchiMate that offers conformity
to standards through the reuse of a recognized Enterprise Architecture modeling language. Moreover, this profile
provides easier ad
option by Service Providers due to inclusion of domain specific concepts. The profiling
mechanism we propose may be used for defining language extensions specific to other industries as well.
