Abstract :
This document investigates the evolution of the Open Network Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) from a research and industrial perspective over the last 15 years. It provides insight into the work currently ongoing in the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) and GSM Association (GSMA) with regards to creating developer friendly APIs and delivering them to the market. Finally, it outlines the current research ongoing within the Open API sphere and provides some recommendations for the standardization forums of the communications industries in order to more fully align with this work.
