Abstract
The ability to carry stream information over a range of network types in a managed way will become an essential requirement for telecommunication network operators as future services evolve to include the transmission of audio/video and bulk data streams. This paper details the architecture of a working pan-European demonstrator offering multimedia services through the integration of stream control, as specified in OMG’s Control & Management of Audio/Video Streams, with a TINA-compliant service management environment. This CORBA-based demonstrator, known as the EURESCOM Services Platform (ESP), has been developed by six European telecommunication companies within EURESCOM project P715. Various modelling concepts, as defined by TINA, ODP and OMG, have been used and verified in a first prototype implementation, with connectivity provided by commercially available multimedia technology such as H.320/323 products. This EURESCOM Services Platform prototype is one of the first demonstrators world-wide to implement OMG’s Control & Management of A/V Streams specification.
