A component based distributed software architecture for multimedia services

High speed communication networks are intended to support various communication network management and various multimedia service based on distributed processing environments. TINA (the Telecommunication Information Network Architecture) provides an architecture that accepts several services, which makes it possible to manage the network efficiently and flexibly, as the communication network architecture of the next generation integrated network. We develop a component-based, distributed software architecture to build a service and network management system for emerging multimedia applications. This architecture is constructed using a generic software component model. The generic software component is instantiated in order to derive specific core service and management components. User interactions as well as the inter component interactions are developed on a CORBA/Java platform
