Abstract

Describes the design and initial implementation of a switching system software environment that can be used to study a variety of problems in software development. These problems include the correct functional decomposition of user-level services, the appropriate distribution of control functions at different places in the network, and issues of reliability and robustness. It is shown how the switching software environment is built using the IC* model of parallel computation. The design of the abstractions needed to implement call processing functions and switch resource management is emphasized
