Multimedia Services based on Agents
نویسنده
چکیده
Distributed systems tend to be heterogeneous, especially when they are not under the same administration. Distributed multimedia services need a widely spread distribution to be of interest to a user. Only if the multimedia services are accessible everywhere in any environment they will be acceptable. To cover heterogeneity and flexible service deployment mobile agents can be used. They configure the applications and systems suited to the user’s needs and system capabilities. This paper discusses the role of mobile agents for the use in heterogeneous distributed multimedia service platforms and shows in an example how an application can be constructed using this model.
