Abstract
Given the complexity of future services and networks the task of service provisioning will become increasingly difficult. A particular problem during provisioning is the assurance of Quality of Service (QoS) to customers where different services will have different QoS needs. In this paper a Decision Support Tool which addresses the problem of assuring QoS when provisioning services in an Intelligent Network is presented. The techniques used, in particular the queuing models, are discussed.
