Description
Presented within this compendium of high-standard technical articles are information and achievements among the most advanced in Europe. Topics covered include: service creation and provision, functional modelling, system specification and detailed specification of the user-network interface, numbering and addressing, and evolution. Strategic highlights on the US, Japan and Australia are also provided as a term for comparison. All information is based upon work in RACE (Research on Advanced Communications for Europe), the CEC-sponsored program where technical and usage views are compiled.
