Middleware Support for Context-aware Multimedia Applications
Hani Naguib, George Coulouris, Scott G. Mitchell · Kluwer Academic Publishers eBooks · 2005
We describe QoSDREAM, a middleware framework for the construction and management of context-aware multimedia applications. The contributions of QoSDREAM include (1) a novel approach to the handling of location data derived from sensors in the physical world which integrates sensor data from a variety of sources into streams of application-relevant events and (2) a component-based architecture for the construction of real-time multimedia and other context-aware applications. The component architecture supports the construction of application models that are used for quality of service analysis and management purposes. Working distributed applications are derived from the models. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
