Approaching IMS from the perspective of the user and the service provider it examines both the current state of deployment and future trends. 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 wit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePreface.\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003c\/p\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","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402420265303,"sku":"9780470740347","price":80.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780470740347.jpg?v=1730480346","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ims-9780470740347","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
