SFI FAME From Science to engineering

IBM, Unified Communications (UC), QoE and Performance UC (video / voice/ messaging) are an important application and an area of competence for IBM!

Engineering Services

• Understanding the QoE and end-to-end performance!

• Testing and auto-tuning of the applications in order to mitigate issues with non-

ideal network conditions. !

• Developed solutions and new IP that eventually lead to integration of these

solutions into their UC product portfolio (collaborators UCD and NUIM).!

• Policy Frameworks in context of Network federations and governance !

• Policy continuum mapping business logic to physical layer configurations!

• Policy evaluation performance !
