Abstract
The number of Internet and IP-capable devices and networks will increase dramatically in the near future. In order to exploit their potential in multimedia communications, we need a service platform that can handle the management and control of the multimedia streams independently of the access networks. In this paper we introduce a distributed service platform that is based on CORBA and we discuss the user and device management in such system in more detail. In addition to that, we try to discover various problems, design issues and possible ideas linked to this kind of system, so that we can use this information later on while designing similar horizontal service platform solutions for commercial use.
