Abstract

The ITU service description methodology is widely used to specify the services of telecommunication systems and the equipment providing these services. Separate languages, such as SDL, MSC, or ASN. 1 have traditionally been used to express specifications at the various stages of this methodology. Motivated by the ongoing convergence between telecommunications and computing and the increasing popularity of UML, these languages have been described as UML profiles. In this chapter, we show how the UML can be leveraged as the notation to capture specifications for network services and elements.
