Abstract :
HEART is a software architecture to support distributed multimedia multiuser applications in high-speed networks. The proposed HEART software architecture consists of three layers, MMCP (Multimedia Multiuser Communication form) layer, the CASE (Common Application Service Elements) layer and the target application layer. The MMCP provides structured and dynamically-configured communication services to the individual applications of the CASE layer, which provides various types of basic application service elements. These can be flexibly configured and integrated for the development of target applications. The proposed HEART architecture will help to develop various distributed multimedia multiuser applications
