A QoS Management Framework based on COP oriented Communication Resource Coordination

Due to the diversity of network technologies, network application programs, and user requirements, it is getting difficult to manage Quality of Service (QoS) for the network services. To address this difficulty, we propose a QoS management framework named Communication Service Concierge (CSC). CSC resolves the difficulty by using the Component Oriented Programming approach. CSC downloads components that includes resource coordination algorithm, and combines them to improve the QoS for applications’ communication. This approaches allows CSC to provide adoptability to diversity and customizability for various user requirements. We designed CSC as a combination of two frameworks; Communication Resource Management (CRM) and Communication Logic Management (CLM). CRM executes resource coordination by accessing communication resources in the network through outside intervention; CLM handles the data in the communication flow. We developed CSC and some downloadable components and confirmed their feasibility by performance test. Finally, we explain a simple file transfer application as an example of CSC use.
