ITU Workshop on
“Service Delivery Platforms (SDP) for
Telecommunication Ecosystems: from today’s
realities to requirements and
challenges of the future”
(Geneva, Switzerland, 17 October 2011 )
Summary of Session 4: SDP
standardization status and
requirements

Summary (1/3)
There are good synergies on SDP-related efforts among ATIS CSF,
IEEE P1903, ITU-T SG 13, and OMA
ITU-T SG 13 has published Recommendations on open service
environments and NGN-SIDE requirements, and is, among other
things, developing the NGN-SIDE functional architecture and
resource management for virtualized network-based cloud
services (Y.VNC)
ATIS CSF has completed the CDN Interconnection Use Case
Specification and High Level Requirements and continues on a fast
track to address the next priorities, including CDN-I, Telepresence,
Cloud Lifecycle Checklist, Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), Virtual
Private Network (VPN)-Oriented Data Center Services (VDCS)
IEEE P1903 is addressing service composition, content delivery,
and self-organizing management
OMA standardizes key aspects of the SDP, including enablers,
policy enforcement, and APIs, and has developed many related
specifications.

Summary (2/3)
Future challenges and requirements include
Real-time transactions for M2M
Service components and 3rd-party applications running in
the users’ devices
Security of users' devices and applications running there
Flexible accounting and payment model to allow, e.g., a
service component to be executed on behalf of a specific
user
Ever faster pace of related standardization efforts, and
balance of commercial interests and true openness
Instant composition of Web user interface
SDPs interconnection/federation for geographical pervasiveness
3
Summary (3/3)
Dynamically adaptive, context aware, and self organizing
services
Dynamic offering, negotiation and subscription for accessing
the exposed service components
High Efficient Rule Engine for service adaptation
Dynamic update of policies for protecting the exposed service
components (e.g., policies on load control), according to the
changes to the active subscriptions
Dynamic mechanisms for optimizing the allocation of resources
according to the requests of the applications, and for
guaranteeing a fair use of them in the open marketplace
Decentralized (distributed) SDPs
All services on demand (i.e., cloud-based SDP)
Data enhanced SDP (e.g. via data mining capabilities)
