A Provider Network Controller (PNC) addresses the challenges in building services across Next Generation Network (NGN) architectures and creates an abstraction layer as a bridge, or glue, between the network transport and applications running over it. The PNC is a multi-layer, multi-vendor dynamic control plane that implements service activation and Layer 0-2 management tools for multiple transport technologies including Carrier Ethernet, Provider Backbone Transport (PBT), Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS), Transport MPLS (T-MPLS), optical and integrated networking platforms. Decoupling transport controls and services from the network equipment simplifies service creation and provides options for carriers to choose best-in-class equipment that leverages the PNC to enable rapid creation and management of transports and services. The PNC provides Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) interfaces to abstract transport objects expressly designed to support both wholesale and retail services, and supports service offerings with varied bandwidth and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, thus achieving enterprise Ethernet economics.

The present invention describes a new system and method for modeling and dynamically deploying services into a distributed networking architecture, especially in a service-oriented architecture. The service container being part of distributed networking architecture exposes its functionality as services. It provides a registration service for deploying service descriptions. Having created a new service description in any declarative description language (i.e. a description of a (stateful) service e.g. a stateful Web service), the description provider invokes the registration service at the service container that allows to register (i.e. deploy) that new service description during runtime without restarting service container. The service container is responsible to analyze and check the submitted new service description for validity, to store the service description and to make it available for interested services consumers for instantiation. If a new service has been successfully registered, a new service interface for accessing that new service is automatically created by the service container. Interested services consumers may query the hosting environment for the available services being hosted and to subsequently instantiate a new service. A service consumer may then invoke any exposed service operation on a given service instance which generally follows a request response pattern.
