Adaptive streaming framework for control and monitoring applications

Advances in networking technologies have led to an increasing number of control systems with remote access functionalities. However, key challenges arise and remain in remote control and monitoring applications such as the need to prioritize different data types being transmitted over the same network with limited bandwidth; balancing streaming parameters in data intensive transmissions such as video streaming to meet a desired outcome at the receiving end, and synchronization of host and client processes. These issues can be specific to an application and need to be addressed to achieve effective data streaming. In this paper, we present an adaptive streaming framework allowing these issues to be addressed in a unified platform for specific applications. Samples of beneficiary applications are highlighted.
