Augmented Reliable Multicast CORBA Event Service (ARMS): A QoS-Adaptive Middleware
نویسندگان
چکیده
The CORBA Event Service specification lacks important features in terms of quality of service (QoS) characteristics required by multimedia information. The main objective of the work described in this paper is to augment the standard CORBA Event Service specification with a set of extensions, to turn it into an adaptable QoS middleware multimedia framework. To meet this, some extensions to the CORBA Event Service already developed with the aim of providing multicasting and reliability features have been enhanced in order to allow the close interaction with multicast transport protocols and with QoS monitoring mechanisms. The result was a QoS-aware middleware platform that actively adapts the quality of service required by the applications to the one that is provided by the underlying communication channel. The main quality of service features addressed by the platform – and discussed in the paper – are the support of sessions with different reliability levels, the provision of congestion control mechanisms and the capability to suppress jitter.

Augmented Reliable Multicast Corba Event Service – A Multimedia Middleware
Continuous media applications require QoScapable middleware platforms, in order to meet stringent requirements in terms of losses, bandwidth and jitter. Existing middleware platforms, such as OMG Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) do not meet these requirements. This paper discusses continuous media applications and their quality of service requirements. The major part of the pap...
متن کاملState Transmission Mechanisms for a Collaborative Virtual Environment Middleware Platform
Collaborative virtual environments (CVE) require the use of specially designed mechanisms that allow for a consistent sharing of state among involved users. These mechanisms must, somehow, compensate for network latency and losses in such a way that all players have a single, coherent perception of the system state. Common middleware platforms have difficulty in guaranteeing this consistency, a...
متن کاملApplying Reflective Middleware Techniques to Optimize a QoS-Enabled CORBA Component Model Implementation
Although existing CORBA specifications, such as Real-time CORBA and CORBA Messaging, address many end-to-end quality-of-service (QoS) properties, they do not define strategies for configuring these properties into applications flexibly, transparently, and adaptively. Therefore, application developers must make these configuration decisions manually and explicitly, which is tedious, error-prone,...
متن کاملEvaluating Transport Protocols for Real-time Event Stream Processing Middleware and Applications
Real-time event stream processing (RT-ESP) applications must synchronize continuous data streams, e.g., infrared scans and video monitoring for survivor detection after a natural disaster, despite fluctuations in resource availability. Satisfying these needs of RT-ESP applications requires predictable QoS from the underlying publish/subscribe (pub/sub) middleware. If a transport protocol is not...
متن کاملApplying a scalable CORBA event service to large-scale distributed interactive simulations
Next-generation distributed interactive simulations have stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements for throughput, latency, and scalability, as well as requirements for a flexible communication infrastructure to reduce software lifecycle costs. The CORBA Event Service provides a flexible model for asynchronous communication among distributed and collocated objects. However, the standard C...
