Abstract

A telecommunication system includes a plurality of applications, a plurality of telecommunication resources, and a telecommunication services kernel. At least one telecommunication resource is capable of generating an event and each application is capable of responding to an event. The telecommunication services kernel couples a requested application triggered by the event with a telecommunication resource required by the application. The telecommunication services kernel also de-couples the requested application and the required telecommunication resource in response to the requested application completing execution. The required telecommunication resource is now available to other applications. A method for allocating a telecommunication resource to an application in a telecommunications system is also disclosed.
