Jae-Chul Moon, Hyo-Sang Lim, Soon Ju Kang · IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics · 1999
This paper discusses a software architecture for a set-top-box that serves as intermediary connecting home networks to the Internet. As the major design challenge in developing the software is supporting inherent real-time requirements of home networks and home Internet connectivity simultaneously, the software is designed to integrate both real-time service and home Internet connectivity into one software framework.
