Editing Intelligent Network (section)

==Future==
While activity in development of IN standards has declined in recent years, there are many systems deployed across the world which use this technology.  The architecture has proved to be not only stable, but also a continuing source of revenue with new services added all the time.  Manufacturers continue to support the equipment and obsolescence is not an issue.

Nevertheless, new technologies and architectures have emerged, especially in the area of [[VoIP]] and [[Session Initiation Protocol|SIP]]. More attention is being paid to the use of [[API]]s in preference to protocols like INAP, and new standards have emerged in the form of [[JAIN]] and [[Parlay X|Parlay]].  From a technical viewpoint, the SCE began to move away from its proprietary graphical origins towards a [[Java (programming language)|Java]] [[application server]] environment.

The meaning of "intelligent network" is evolving in time, largely driven by breakthroughs in computation and algorithms. From networks enhanced by more flexible algorithms and more advanced protocols, to networks designed using data-driven models <ref>{{cite journal | last1=Kulin | first1=Merima | last2=Fortuna | first2=Carolina | last3=De Poorter | first3=Eli | last4=Deschrijver | first4=Dirk | last5=Moerman | first5=Ingrid | title=Data-Driven Design of Intelligent Wireless Networks: An Overview and Tutorial | journal=Sensors | publisher=MDPI AG | volume=16 | issue=6 | date=2016-06-01 | issn=1424-8220 | doi=10.3390/s16060790 | page=790 | pmid=27258286 | pmc=4934216 | bibcode=2016Senso..16..790K | doi-access=free }}</ref> to AI enabled networks.<ref>{{cite journal | last1=Kibria | first1=Mirza Golam | last2=Nguyen | first2=Kien | last3=Villardi | first3=Gabriel Porto | last4=Zhao | first4=Ou | last5=Ishizu | first5=Kentaro | last6=Kojima | first6=Fumihide | title=Big Data Analytics, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence in Next-Generation Wireless Networks | journal=IEEE Access | publisher=Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) | volume=6 | year=2018 | issn=2169-3536 | doi=10.1109/access.2018.2837692 | pages=32328–32338| s2cid=3563572 | doi-access=free | arxiv=1711.10089 }}</ref>
