Abstract
Modern telecommunication providers are under increasing competition in their markets due to deregulation and merging of previously separate domains. In order to maintain a competitive edge, providers are looking to allow an increase in the flexibility of their offerings without substantially increasing costs. This position chapter sets out a scheme for allowing the automation of the processing of customer requirements to give an executable service specification. This scheme involves the recognition of requirements as cognitive artifacts and the containment of the uncertain reasoning; this entails to a single level in a three-tier processing model.
