Abstract
The new-emerging inventive technologies that bring together the richness of IT applications with the superiority and intelligence of next-generation networks bring also about a dramatic jump in services value for all types of enterprises and carriers. It is seen by fundamental changes in the way applications and services are designed, developed, delivered, and used. With this new age comes a set of demanding technical challenges along with significant opportunities for technology innovation. Thus, we address here these challenges by evaluating NGNs service platform in terms of functionality, programmability, flexibility, openness, and inter-operability. Besides, in NGNs even a simple service has a complex structure. It consists from a lot of building blocks, which create hierarchical models with a lot of parallel subsystems. Thus, the NGN SCE has to be based on multiprocessing technology and parallel programming environments. And, our particular interest is in understanding and modeling the performance of parallel queuing models.
