<Project Title: IMS based Service Creation Framework for Niche Broadband Service Operators>
<Financial Scheme: >
<Description: Abstract:
The aim of the project is to undertake research and development in the domain of IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem)  service conceptualisation, creation and validation with specific sensitivity to the needs of niche and community based Broadband Service Provider's .  
This will enable community based Broadband Service Providers compete effectively with the larger global players  and use the richness of IMS services to create applications and services that uniquely serve the communities in which they operate

Main Objectives and Research Results Sought:
Main objectives are to deliver an IMS based  service creation and deployment framework which is (1) scaled to and (2) cost effective for the specific needs of the smaller Broadband Service Providers .
The project will further investigate integrating into the framework a service adaptation layer which enables adaptive mobility to underlying network conditions and multi-network inter-operability.
The project will include developing a prototype Community Linking application development which will validate the service creation framework

Innovative Aspects:
Customisation of a service delivery platform specific to the needs of the smaller Broadband Service Provider .
Building in a service adaptation layer which enables adaptive mobility and multi-network inter-operability.

Main Advantages (Impact):
Project deliverables will provide a means for niche and community based Broadband Service Providers to compete effectively in the marketplace and to use the richness of IMS services to create new applications and services that uniquely serve the communities in which they operate.

<Organisation Type: Centro di Ricerca>
<Partner Sought: This project is now seeking SME partners . The goal is to build a consortium representing the  supply chain of value added service provision with  a service provider , a Telco or IT Systems Integrator and an Application Developer .
We are specifically seeking a Broadband Service Provider with a Fixed Wireless or Wireline access network that has an established customer base and  is committed to expanding their product offering with value added services.  This partner is required to participate in the Environment and Market Analysis phase of the project and also to participate in a user  trial using their live network.
We are additionally seeking a Telco / Systems Integrator that has a direct  interest in providing integration services for Next Generation Networks and IMS . The anticipated role of this SME is to assist in the Environment Analysis phase , System Analysis and Description phase , in the development of deployment methods and tools and to assist in the preparation and execution of a user trial.
