Telecom Operators are investigating new service models in order to respond to the revenue decrease due to the presence of the Over The Top -- OTT providers like Google, Skype, Facebook, etc. On one side, Telecom Operators are migrating their core networks to new architectures like IP Multimedia Subsystem -- IMS in order to decrease both the costs of the infrastructures and the time-to-market of the applications as well as to improve their application portfolio adding new Value Added Services. On the other side, Telecom Operators are also trying to find a way to collaborate in synergy with the ever increasing world of the "Internet of Services" in which Internet providers expose functionalities and contents through Web APIs. In this paper we analyze the main issues that must be addressed when designing a platform for the execution of Mashups over IMS (e.g., Session Management, integration with IMS components like the HSS, etc.) and propose a set of solutions. We show how we used such solutions in a platform for Mashup execution and compare such a platform with a commercial product provided by Ericsson (i.e., the Ericsson Composition Engine - ECE).
