OASIS Preps SOA for Telecoms

The OASIS open standards consortium is launching a project to optimize service-oriented architecture software for the telecommunications industry.

The new effort will be known as the OASIS Telecommunications Services Member Section or OASIS Telecom. Founding members of the OASIS Telecom group, which will collaborate to optimize SOA for use in the telecommunications sector, include BEA Systems, IBM, Primeton Technologies, Alcatel-Lucent, Avaya, CA, Microsoft, NEC, Nortel Networks, Oracle, Progress Software and VeriSign. OASIS announced the formation of the new group April 28.

"We recognize there are gaps that prevent today's SOA standards from delivering the complete integration and interoperability that telecommunications providers need," said Abbie Barbir, a Nortel representative in the effort who is also co-chair of the OASIS Telecom Steering Committee.
