Klusener, S.F.M. van Vlijmen & A. van Waveren "Service independent building blocks-I; concepts, examples and formal specifications" In this paper we present descriptions of some Service Independent Building Blocks and related concepts like Global Service Logic, which form part of the conceptual model for Intelligent Networks. These descriptions correspond with the formal specifications that are given in the appendix, however they differ slightly from the definitions in the CCITT Recommendation. The differences occur at points at which the Recommendation was not clear to us and they are discussed in this paper as well. A formal specification is useful for a thorough understanding of the Service Independent Building Blocks. Furthermore, it enables simulation of services and it can serve as a basis for studies of the correctness of implementations.
