Parlay X is a set of Web Service interfaces. These interfaces are designed to provide open access to telecommunication network functions in order to hide underlying network technology, and its control protocol complexity, from application developers. The Parlay X “intelligence” is concentrated in a node called Parlay X Gateway which converts interfaces methods in protocol messages and vice versa. An inherent constraint on any implementation requires the Parlay X Gateway to govern the interface to the underlying network i.e., to provide a single point of contact at which vertical signaling is received from the network. This chapter presents a study on alternatives for Parlay X Web Service deployment in Internet Protocol based multimedia networks (IMS). The focus is set on Parlay X Web Services for application-driven quality of service (QoS) management and charging control. It is presented as an analysis of the interfaces. Particularly the discussion is about their applicability to Policy and Charging Control architecture in IMS. Going further, the Web Service interfaces are mapped onto network protocols that they affect, namely Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Diameter. On that base an improvement is suggested concerning Parlay X interfaces for QoS management without violating the specified interface functionality. The usage of Web Services is exemplified with an application for charging control based on the provided QoS.

<p><strong>Background.</strong> Caring for schizophrenia is a challenge and a burden for caregiver. In fact, family caregivers did not know how to care schizophrenia at home. A home management care base coaching is urgently needed. It can be used as a basis for nurses to assist caregivers in caring for persons with schizophrenia. <strong>Aims and Objectives.</strong> The study aimed to determine the feasibility of a home care management model base coaching for family caregivers of persons with schizophrenia.</p><p><strong>Methods.</strong> The study was two groups pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design. Thirty family caregivers were assigned into experimental and control group with each group 15 persons. Data were collected using the Chiang Mai Psychiatric Caregiving Scale, the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale and the Schizophrenia Caregiver Quality of Life questionnaire. It was six weeks activities with several methods, such as discussion, watching videos, providing information, training, and home visit.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong>The participants who receive interventions reported significantly more improved in caregiving skills (p&lt;0.05), increased quality of life (p &lt; 0.05)and decreased the level of burden care (p&lt;0.05) than those receiving the routine care.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong>The study revealed that home care management model base coaching intervention was effective to improve caregivers’ outcomes in caring for relatives with schizophrenia.</p>

As Web services are growing rapidly and as their adoption by a large number of business organizations is increasing, scalability and performance management of Web services environments are of paramount importance. This chapter proposes a scalable QoS-aware architecture, called QoSMA, for the management of QoS-aware Web services. The aim of this architecture is to provide QoS management support for both Web services’ providers and consumers. The proposed architecture is based on the commonly-used notion of QoS brokerage service. The QoS broker mediates between service requestors and service providers. Its responsibilities include performance monitoring of Web services, supporting users in Web services selection based on their QoS requirements, and the negotiation of QoS issues between requestors and providers. The QoSMA architecture provides the following benefits: First, it allows the automation of QoS management and QoS monitoring for both providers and clients. Second, the scalability of the architecture allows for better handling of the increasing demand while maintaining the pre-agreed-on QoS between service requestors and providers.

Abstract The paper investigates the capabilities for open access to resource management in multimedia networks through Parlay X Web Services. Resource management allows the network operator to provide Quality of Service (QoS) to user sessions and to apply advanced charging. The study is based on the analysis of Policy and Charging Control (PCC) functions defined for evolved packet systems The PCC comprises flow-based charging including charging control and online credit control, gating control, and Quality of Service Control (QoS) control. The required functionality for open access to QoS management and advanced charging is identified. Parlay X Web Services are evaluated for the support of PCC and some enhancements are suggested. Implementation aspects are discussed and Parlay X interfaces are mapped on IMS control protocols. Use Cases of Parlay X Web services for PCC are presented.
