Abstract :
Experience demonstrates the benefits and feasibility of supporting multimedia applications in distributed middleware architectures. However, deployment of multimedia-capable middleware platforms has not yet occurred on a large scale. This article describes designing such a platform and its attempts to maximize performance, predictability, and configurability in a standard workstation operating system environment
