Nowadays, in accordance with increasing expectations of multimedia stream service on the internet, a lot of distributed applications are being required and developed. But the models of the existing systems have the problems that cannot support the extensibility and the reusability, when the QoS relating functions are being developed as an integrated modules which are suited on the centralized controlled specific-purpose application services. To cope with these problems, it is suggested in this paper to a distributed QoS management system on CORBA, an object-oriented middleware compliance. This systems we suggested can provides not only for efficient control of resources, various service QoS, and QoS control functions as the existing functions, but also QoS control real-time negotiation and dynamic adaptation in addition. This system consists of QoS Control Management Module(QoS CMM) in client side and QoS Management Module(QoS MM) in server side, respectively. These distributed modules are interfacing with each other via CORBA on different systems for distributed QoS management while serving distributed streaming applications. In phase of design of our system, we use UML(Unified Modeling Language) for designing each component in modules, their method calls and various detailed functions for controlling QoS of stream services. For implementation of our system, we used OrbixWeb 3.1c following CORBA specification on Solaris 2.5/2.7, Java language, Java Media Framework API 2.0 beta2, Mini-SQL 1.0.16 and the multimedia equipments, such as SunVideoPlus/Sun Video capture board and Sun Camera. Finally, we showed a numerical data controlled by real-time negotiation and adaptation procedures based on QoS map information to GUIs on client and server dynamically, while our distributed QoS management system is executing a given streaming service.

분산 이기종 시스템간에 어플리케이션을 개발하기 위해 미들웨어로 사용되는 CORBA는 객체들 간에 멀티캐스트 통신을 지원하지는 못한다. 그룹서비스는 일대일 통신만을 지원하는 CORBA에서 멀티캐스트를 지원할 뿐만 아니라 시스템의 가용성, 신뢰성 그리고 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 CORBA를 기반으로 실시간 스케줄링과 부하균등 알고리즘을 통하여 실시간 응용프로그램에 적합한 그룹서비스를 설계한다.

This paper proposes a RTWM (Real-Time Web Middleware) framework for real-time EC(Electronic Commerce) systems. RTWM system is extended the existing COS( CORBA Object Service) model added to the event monitoring, real-time scheduler, real-time event filtering for supporting real-time concept of EC systems. Especially, this paper is concentrated on providing suitable event filtering function for EC system in order to meed various user time requirements under distributed system environment. It stores time constraint requirements an interesting event information input from users into QoS repository, then processes the data through appropriate RTFA(Real-Time Filtering Agent) module when real-time events occur. From this method, users can get the filtered event result reflected their requirements about real-time filtering. It means this system provides thigh QoS to users. In addition, it results in decreasing network traffic as unnecessary event information is filtered from network.

In recently years, distributed real-time software has performed important roles in various areas. Real-time applications should be performed with satisfying strict constraints on response time. Usually real-time applications are developed on the real-time supporting middleware such as TMO(Time-triggered, Message-triggered Object), CORBA/RT, and RTAI. However, it is not easy to develop applications using them since these real-time middleware are unfamiliar to programmers. In this paper, we propose an automatic code generator for real-time application based on TMO in order to reduce development costs. For increasing or reflecting the characteristics of TMO into the design model, SpM and SvM methods are added into the class diagram, which have time constraints as their properties. And behaviors of them are represented as separated regions on state machine diagram in different abstract level. These diagrams are inputted into TMO-based code automatic generator, which generates details of the TMO class. Our approach has advantages for decreasing effort and time for making real time software by automatically generating TMO codes without detailed knowledge of TMO.

According to CORBA specification, there are some mechanisms for object reference management such as Naming Service and Trading service, but these mechanism cant's supply all functionalities needed fomanagement in MICS. So, We have designed and implemented additional special-purpose IPO manager. It provides load balancing service based on real-time information for IPO and fault-tolerable services with the management of redundant IPOs and also provides transparent configuration of client environment with the lists of registered IPOs.

This paper suggests a multimedia educational system which has the ability to extract intelligent instruction on the distributed environment. The proposed system is designed for supporting individual instruction and real time user interaction. As the system based on CORBA, we put group managing module on it for multi user environment, so it has ability for distributed computing facilities. Using MHEG standard, we can provide multimedia courseware and real time user interaction. To diagnose students' responses and generate evaluations, we use several linguistic variables of fuzzy theory. There are two major advantages for using this system. This system can provide dynamic generation of problems and the ability to provide a dynamic instruction strategy. And it can increase reusability of courseware material for using standard of multimedia representation and communication. We use CORBA and MHEG to overcome the disadvantage of the Web, passive protocol and poor interactivity, HTTP.

The IEEE 1394 protocol is a de facto standard in multimedia digital home network. It supports several advanced features such as hot plugging, dynamic network reconfiguration, isochronous transmission and so on. Since the IEEE 1394 was adapted in the field of multimedia service with QoS guarantee, back bone network protocol with reel-time digital instrumentation and control sub networks, and physical layer protocol for real-time middleware such as real-time CORBA, the additional real-time features has been required in device driver implementation because of the necessity of the predictability enhancement. To guarantee the real-time features, the device driver of the IEEE 1394 should support the priority based packet processing and also need a isochronous buffer management mechanism to deal with the periodic isochronous communication. In this paper, we proposed a new software architecture of the IEEE 1394 device driver for supporting the real-time characteristics such as priority based packet processing, priority based scheduling and so on.
