Use of Atomic Action Principles to Co-ordinate the Interaction Between TINA Service Managers

TINA provides an architecture to support the Telecommunication Services of the future [2,3]. This architecture consists of a number of Service Managers (e.g. Service Session Manager, User Service Manager) that co-operate to provide Telecommunication Services to the users. In certain cases, complex interactions are required and this paper suggests the use of Atomic Action (AA) transaction principles to provide the required co-operation mechanisms.
