The book offers a realistic view of IMS deployment to operators and service providers, giving practical examples, application cases and business models. It also presents IMS deployment strategies based on real-life deployment statistics from a live IMS test bed connected to an operator network and proof-of-concept applications including inter-operability trials and results.  \u003cp\u003eFocusing on IMS potential in terms of service creation, service composition and service provision the book discusses the ability of IMS to act not only as a service delivery framework, but also as a service integration framework. It presents the possible future of IMS in terms of convergence with Internet services, including discussions about integration with web technologies including the WIMS 2.0 initiative. The book enables a better understanding of how web technologies can complement the IMS service architecture and pioneer the post-IMS progress and success.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents a novel service-oriented approach to IMS services and applications from a deployment perspective \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlaces IMS in the context of the current telecom environment providing business models through WIMS 2.0 initiative\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePredicts the trends and potential future for the IMS evolution\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a technical foundation to IMS principles and architecture\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGives examples and solutions to the challenges of service creation and implementation and analyses deployment hurdles and interoperability trials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes trends of convergence based on IMS and Web technologies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePreface.\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor Biographies.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Introduction.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 IMS Context.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Drivers of Convergence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 IMS Misconceptions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 IMS Standards Status.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 IMS Deployment Status.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5 Future.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 IMS Technology.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 Evolution of Mobile Network Architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 IMS - A Standardized All-IP Infrastructure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 Evolution of Fixed Mobile Convergence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II Convergence - Services and Deployment Perspective.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 IMS - A Service Perspective.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.1 The IMS Potential.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.2 IMS-Enhanced Service Delivery Framework.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.3 IMS Services - Possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 IMS Deployment.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.1 Deployment Concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.2 Interoperability.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.3 IMS Deployment Strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.4 IMS Test Networks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III Convergence - The Road Ahead.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 WIMS 2.0: Convergence of Telcos with web 2.0 Facilitated by IMS.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.1 Impact of Web 2.0 Disruption on the IMS and Telecom Evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.2 WIMS 2.0: The Service Focus.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.3 WIMS 2.0: The Technology Focus.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 The Way Forward - Paths to Follow.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.1 Operators and Service Platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.2 Developers and Service Creation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.3 Users and Service Creation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.4 Devices and Service Creation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.5 Research and Development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.6 Concluding Remarks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReferences.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIndex.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Electronics \u0026amp; communications engineering [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Electronics \u0026amp; communications engineering\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Electronics%20\u0026amp;%20communications%20engineering%20%5BTJ%5D%22\"\u003eTJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52278024864024,"sku":"9780470740347","price":81.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470740347.jpg?v=1781456121","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/ims-a-development-and-deployment-perspective-hardback-9780470740347","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
