| Feature interaction problems have been a serious issue among
intelligent network services for a number of years, but, until now, the
issue has not been investigated for existing and emerging networked multimedia
services. The paper describes the final results of the feature interactions
in multimedia systems project which determined the level of threat
that the problem posed to the networked multimedia domain. After considering
the causes of the problem, some existing multimedia services are described
and illustrative multimedia feature interaction scenarios provided. Issues
with future networks are outlined and the paper concludes by outlining
some possible approaches for handling the problem in future.
