ISO/IEC TR 29181-7:2013 describes the problem statement, requirements and a functional building block for the Future Network (FN) from the perspective of service composition. The goal of ISO/IEC TR 29181-7:2013 is to:

1. analyse and classify problems of the current solutions on the service composition,
2. identify requirements on the service composition for the FN,
3. describe some technical aspects of the service composition for the FN, and
4. propose a functional building block of the service composition including functional components and their reference points among them.

ISO/IEC TR 29181-7:2013 also introduces various on-going standardization and research activities related to service composition.
