P2P Service-Oriented Community Coordinated Multimedia: Modeling Multimedia Applications as Web Services and Experience

Peer-to-peer service-oriented community coordinated multimedia (SCCM) is envisioned as a novel paradigm in which the user consumes multiple media through requesting multimedia-intensive Web services via diversity display devices, converged networks, and heterogeneous platforms within a virtual, open and collaborative community in context of a novel concept of multimedia applications as Web services. A generic P2P SCCM scenario is created and examined first. The SCCM model is designed with respect to service architecture, a tunneled hierarchical P2P model and metamodel framework. The progress with the development of content annotation services is presented.
