As the telecommunications market is evolving and new technologies such as LTE and 5G networks come into prominence, service providers need to evolve their Operations Support Systems (OSS) and Business Support Systems (BSS). They must enable higher bandwidth and content-rich applications, all while delivering new capabilities and superior experiences to users. OSS and BSS are key to delivering organizations needs for service delivery and fulfilment and business intelligence. The systems integration will help Telecom service providers to optimize expenses on their OSS and BSS systems, and at the same time improve the overall service provisioning and the quality of experience delivered to customers. This book has practical approach. It cover the fulfilment, assurance and billing processes in depth for converged telecommunication services. Customer care using web self care and social networking applications. Billing and charging concepts for GSM, 3G Networks including IMS , LTE is covered. The present day challenge in front of Telecommunication Service Providers is providing a Convergent bill to their customers. Hence Convergent Billing concepts have been included in the book. VOIP and Interconnect Billing has also been covered. BSS Data Centre Solution has been discussed in the book right from Choosing COTS software , planning and designing for BSS Data Centre infrastructure , Licensing and Sizing for Computing resources , Storage and Software, , Deigning WAN for CRM , Mediation and Provisioning , need of taking OSS/BSS on cloud. On the OSS front, the book has excellent coverage of TMN, EMS/NMS, OSS Network Operation Centre , SNMP and Management of Next Generation Networks.
It is often noticed that many of the software engineers who work in telecom domain, specially in application delevopment/testing, lag the insights to the complete picture. This results in lack of innovation in what they do and they forget to question - how can they do it better.
So for students of Telecom engineering and newbees into Telecom domain, it is essential to understand the basics of Telecom and to visualize the telecom domain as a whole. This will help them link their bit of contribution to the entire life cycle. Hopefully this presentation serves as a starter.
Target readers for this book are all the professionals who are working in Telecom OSS domain or wish to move to OSS domain. Those who already have worked in OSS projects will find this book easier to understand.
When two large companies merge, it often takes a while – years in some cases – before processes get redesigned to span all departments, and the new organization settles into a lean and profitable machine. And the same is true of OSS/BSS. These systems have been designed for two different purposes: to keep the network operational and to keep it profitable. But today’s demanding networks need the functions of both of these systems to work together, and to work across the varying lifecycles of products and services.
Open Digital Architecture (ODA) is a blueprint for modular, cloud-based, open digital platforms that can be orchestrated using AI.
Designed to support our industry into the cloud native era, ODA sets the framework required
for CSPs to invest in IT, transforming business agility and operations by creating simpler IT and network solutions that are easier and cheaper to deploy, integrate and upgrade. Enabling growth, profitability and a cutting-edge customer experience.
During last few years, role of Enterprise Architecture has expanded from technical to strategic in an Organization. This slide deck presents: Using Enterprise Architecture in your Organization.

Feature Model Configuration Based on Two-Layer Modelling in Software Product ...IJECEIAES
The aim of the Software Product Line (SPL) approach is to improve the software development process by producing software products that match the stakeholders’ requirements. One of the important topics in SPLs is the feature model (FM) configuration process. The purpose of configuration here is to select and remove specific features from the FM in order to produce the required software product. At the same time, detection of differences between application’s requirements and the available capabilities of the implementation platform is a major concern of application requirements engineering. It is possible that the implementation of the selected features of FM needs certain software and hardware infrastructures such as database, operating system and hardware that cannot be made available by stakeholders. We address the FM configuration problem by proposing a method, which employs a two-layer FM comprising the application and infrastructure layers. We also show this method in the context of a case study in the SPL of a sample E-Shop website. The results demonstrate that this method can support both functional and non-functional requirements and can solve the problems arising from lack of attention to implementation requirements in SPL FM selection phase.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
