Semantic Web enabled VHE for 3/sup rd/ generation telecommunications

Former approaches to VHE resulted in considerable traffic loads and security threats by moving service logics across networks. In order to minimize extra traffic resulted by VHE, here we employ semantic Web technology to setup a semantic background, upon which VHE could comprehend the expectations of users and the abilities of services, thus could automatically and precisely select an appropriate local service for a service request of a roaming user. As a first step to reach the semantic Web enabled VHE, we model related knowledge into ontologies and present a suggested architectural framework.
