Abstract

This paper is concerned with the applicability of object oriented design and implementation methods in the field of telecommunications. As a result, a framework system is proposed that allows for building of complex yet flexible communication systems.

As many service providers offer equivalent services it seams reasonable to introduce service abstractions and to design applications in a way that makes it possible to reference these service abstractions instead of the actual service providers. The latter may be selected from a set of choices late, e.g. at runtime, respecting the system's actual capabilities and user preferences.
