Abstract

Techniques for using a proxy model to encapsulate one or more telecommunications (telecom) functionalities are provided. The techniques include generating a proxy model, wherein the proxy model comprises at least one of a representation module, an implementation module, a metadata module, one or more utility snippet modules, one or more unit test code modules and a module linking to one or more blogs, and using the proxy model to encapsulate one or more telecom functionalities. Techniques are also provided for creating a telecom service using the proxy model.

Claims

1. A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having computer useable program code for using a proxy model to encapsulate one or more telecommunications (telecom) functionalities, said computer program product including:

computer useable program code for generating a proxy model, wherein the proxy model comprises at least one of a representation module, an implementation module, a metadata module, one or more utility snippet modules, one or more unit test code modules and a module linking to one or more blogs; and

computer useable program code for using the proxy model to encapsulate one or more telecom functionalities.

2. The computer program product of claim 1, further comprising computer useable program code for using the proxy model to hide invocation complexity for one or more telecom protocols.

3. The computer program product of claim 1, further comprising computer useable program code for using the proxy model to coordinate usage of one or more telecom functionalities.

4. The computer program product of claim 1, further comprising computer useable program code for generating the proxy model in one or more programming styles.

5. The computer program product of claim 1, further comprising computer useable program code for applying the proxy model to a non-telecom functionality.

6. A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having computer useable program code for creating a telecom service, said computer program product including:

computer useable program code for generating a service creation architecture, wherein the service creation architecture comprises one or more composition studios and at least one of a repository of one or more telecom proxies, a metadata manager, a blog manager, an analytics manager and a publishing manager; and

computer useable program code for using the service creation architecture to create a telecom service, wherein creating the telecom service comprises at least one of designing the service, looking-up a proxy, selecting a proxy, configuring a proxy, generating code and obtaining input from a developer.

7. A system for using a proxy model to encapsulate one or more telecommunications (telecom) functionalities, comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to said memory and operative to;

generate a proxy model, wherein the proxy model comprises at least one of a representation module, an implementation module, a metadata module, one or more utility snippet modules, one or more unit test code modules and a module linking to one or more blogs; and

use the proxy model to encapsulate one or more telecom functionalities.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the at least one processor coupled to said memory is further operative to use the proxy model to hide invocation complexity for one or more telecom protocols.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the at least one processor coupled to said memory is further operative to use the proxy model to coordinate usage of one or more telecom functionalities.

10. The system of claim 7, wherein the at least one processor coupled to said memory is further operative to generate the proxy model in one or more programming styles.

11. The system of claim 7, wherein the at least one processor coupled to said memory is further operative to apply the proxy model to a non-telecom functionality.
