Today, there is a strong trend towards networked multimedia devices. However,common multimedia software architectures are restricted to perform allprocessing on a single system. Available software infrastructures for distributedcomputing - commonly referred to as middleware - only partly providethe facilities needed for supporting multimedia in distributed and dynamicenvironments. Approaches from the research community only focus onspecific aspects and do not achieve the coverage needed for a full-featuredmultimedia middleware solution. The Network-Integrated Multimedia Middleware(NMM) presented in this book considers the network as an integral part.Despite the inherent heterogeneity of present networking and device technologies,the architecture allows to extend control and cooperation to thenetwork and enables the development of distributed multimedia applicationsthat transparently use local and remote components in combination. Thismiddleware is augmented by several middleware services that especially aimat providing additional support for developing complex applications thatinvolve mobile users and devices.
