Summary on Grant Application Form
The Feature Interaction (FI) problem is a major obstacle to rapid service creation in telecommunications systems. It is characterised as an undesired or unforeseen change in the operation of a feature which can be wholly or partially attributed to the actions of another feature. To date, the problem has been recognised and investigated most noticeably for Intelligent Network (IN) services. Considering that multimedia services are even more complex than existing IN services it is highly likely that feature interactions will also occur in multimedia systems.The proposed research aims to investigate the potential for feature interactions in multimedia services, identify specific examples and investigate the nature of the interactions. The results of the research may subseqently be used by network operators and service providers to help resolve feature interactions at an early stage of multimedia system.
