ABSTRACT: Next Generation Network (NGN) has drawn
great attention by the researchers and telecommunication industries as the
future generation in the communication technologies and services. The interest
covers all aspects on NGN from the global standards, architecture and services.
The management of services provided in the NGN environment has posed great
challenges due to the heterogeneity of the service protocols, service
requirements and specifications and service functionalities. The research
proposes enhancement of the automated service management through embedding the
semantic service descriptions that can be referenced to the service ontology
for service creation and management into the Next Generation Network, which
will become Semantic Next Generation Network (SNGN).
