1. A method of controlling services in a telecommunications system that is organized into a plurality of domains, the method comprising:

  • receiving, in a server processor of a continuum orchestrator computing device, a policy-charging request that includes information for delivery of a first service across the telecommunications system, wherein;

    all components in the telecommunications system involved in the delivery of the first service are grouped into at least one of the plurality of domains,each domain in the plurality of domains includes different components than every other domain in plurality of domains,the plurality of domains includes at least a first domain and a second domain,the components in the first domain collectively provide a first functionality for the delivery of the first service,the components in the second domain collectively provide a different functionality for the delivery of the first service,the first domain includes a first domain orchestrator component, andthe second domain includes a second domain orchestrator component;

    identifying, via the server processor, domains in the telecommunications system that collectively provide functionality required to fulfill the received policy-charging request, the identified domains including the first domain and the second domain;

    generating, via the server processor, a plurality of domain specific policy-charging requests based on the information included in the received policy-charging request, the plurality of domain specific policy-charging requests including;

    a first message that includes information specific to altering the first functionality provided by the components in the first domain, anda second message that includes information specific to altering the different functionality provided by the components in the second domain;

    associating the first message with the first domain;

    associating the second message with the second domain;

    sending the first message to the first domain orchestrator component in the first domain; and

    sending the second message to the second domain orchestrator component in the second domain.
