From the Back Cover

Many organizations setting up distributed network systems suffer from problems caused by heterogeneity in hardware, operating systems and programming languages. Open distributed processing (ODP) provides open access to distributed system services and masks heterogeneity, allowing considerable benefits to be gained in terms of portability and interoperability of systems and applications.

The need to support multimedia in ODP environments in a major challenge when setting up such networks. This book has been written specifically to address the problems of supporting multimedia applications, such as desktop conferencing, multimedia email, video on-demand systems and virtual reality environments, in ODP standards and platforms.

This book provides
  • an introduction to the field of ODP, with detailed descriptions of ISO's, RM-ODP, OMG's, CORBA and Open Group's DCE
  • a description of the requirements of distributed multimedia applications (in terms of support for continuous media, quality of service, real-time synchronization and mutliparty communications)
  • an evaluation of these ODP platforms with respect to their support for multimedia
  • a detailed description of an architecture for ODP standards and platforms supporting multimedia
  • a description of two proof-of-concept demonstrators focusing on the programming model and on engineering support

This book is based on the research generated by teh SUMO project, a collaboration between Centre Nationale d'Etudes Télécommunications (CNET) France and Telecom at Issy les Molineaux, France, and Lancaster University in the UK.
