A FRAMEWORK FOR SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF
DISTRIBUTED MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS
by Ahmed Saleh
Centre for Parallel Computing, U. of Westminster
-----------------------------------------------
Abstract:
The development of distributed multimedia applications has always been a
challenge for both expert and non-expert developers. Middlewares and
supporting frameworks have emerged to simplify this process by providing
reusable components that can be plugged together in many configurations
to
help application developers building up their applications. However,
building distributed multimedia applications from pre-existing, reusable
components is not a trivial task, it requires a lot of attention and
understanding of how each component behaves, what data it requires and
what service it provides.
A new generation of supporting frameworks is now under investigation
based
on the principle of creating a configuration-oriented framework that can
supports the development of distributed multimedia applications. Our idea
of
creating a framework focussing on the explicit construction of the system
architecture in terms of components, connectors and relationships between
components will be presented. This framework introduces a configurable
approach that separates the concerns or paradigms of a distributed
multimedia application into a set of reusable components that can be
easily
modified, extended, connected or substituted by components from other
systems.
