A system for creating, transferring, and monitoring services in a telecommunication system includes a service creation and management application and a service execution application. Services are created as call processing records, each call processing record comprises call processing nodes, branches and call variables. An interface specification is provided which permits the creation and management application to communicate with the execution application at a high level. Call processing records, data, and management information to be exchanged between the creation and management application and the execution application are encoded in accordance with the interface specification to permit the effective and efficient communication between the two applications and to permit the system to activate, monitor, trace, audit, and manage telecommunication services.
