Yet an open issue with some solutions to investigate.

La communication de ce document est soumise à autorisation de France Télécom R&D TINA2000-140900.ppt - D11 - 14/09/2000 France Télécom R&D Conclusion è Not all specifications bodies manage to turn their results into standard de facto, widely accepted by the market. Let us remind that TINA-C primary aim was R&D cooperation, i.e. collaborative assessment of technology innovation è Even if TINA is not a standard de facto, the Consortium has been particularly successful in anticipating, vulgarising, influencing, promoting concepts/ideas. è Since 1993, the telecommunications context has changed dramatically : IP, mobile, NGN. è The best TINA concepts are naturally turning into specifications and products in the bodies addressing specific market needs (3GPP, OMG, IETF, SoftSwitch, etc)
