First Claim
1. An service management system for an advanced intelligent network, comprising:
- a plurality of gateways in communications with a plurality of network nodes and service clients which may issue service requests received by the gateways, the gateways operable to receive the service requests from the network nodes and service clients in a variety of dissimilar protocols, the gateways operable to convert the dissimilar protocols of the service requests to orders having a predetermined format containing the service requests;
an order distribution server in communication with the plurality of gateways operable to receive and distribute the orders;
a plurality of management programs operable to receive the orders from the order distribution server and execute the service requests contained in the orders, the plurality of management programs operable to generate responses according to the execution of the orders; and
the order distribution server operable to receive the responses and send the responses to the gateways for delivery to the network nodes and service clients.

Abstract
An service management system for an advanced intelligent network includes a plurality of gateways in communications with a plurality of network nodes and service clients which may issue service requests. The service requests are received by the gateways, which convert the service requests to orders having a predetermined format containing the service requests. An order distribution server in communication with the plurality of gateways receives and distributes the orders. A plurality of management programs receive the orders from the order distribution server and execute the service requests contained in the orders. Responses may be generated by the management programs and sent to the order distribution server for delivery to the network nodes and service clients.
