RACE is a collaborative, pre-competitive R&D programme, partially funded by the European Union. The programme comprises a number of projects involving participants from all major European telecommunications sectors. The focus is IBC, a concept which encompasses broadband fixed and mobile networks, broadcasting and multimedia communication services. The goal is to further the development and deployment of IBC in Europe, eventually forming a complete information and communication system available to, and usable by, all. RACE projects are grouped in Project Lines. Relevant to this paper is an area called Intelligence in Services and Networks (IS&N), which deals with the technologies required to engineer the next generation of the intelligent network or long term IN. Within the IS&N area, a number of projects have dealt with service engineering. This paper will present highlights of the vision and results developed by some RACE projects in the field of service engineering.
