Future Networks: Innovative service scenarios, including environmental and socio economical aspects
(Continuation of Question 1/13)
Motivation
Innovative service scenarios with support of information technologies are preparing opportunities for new services to be created in various environments demanding ICT support. For example, risk mitigation service features related to the effects of the climate on the environment form nowadays services scenarios of quickly increasing importance.
It is important to consider not only the potential application services (described by use cases) that may be developed, but also the anticipated operating service scenarios and the implementations of service models (described by service deployment models). These considerations can be applied to assist the application service planning and may possibly even accelerate the availability and automation of application services in future Networks. Service deployment models based on future network technologies can be designed to enable service providers’ business innovation.
The use cases should be initiated from the user perspective and the service deployment models should take into account the service providers’ perspective.
In the context of these studies, this Question will also consider environmental and socio-economic aspects with the objective to minimize the environmental impact as well as to reduce the barriers to entry for the various actors involved in the network ecosystem.
Recommendations under responsibility of this Question include:
– Y-series Recommendations.
