Abstract

The authors present the design and the implementation of a distributed media service provider for the Internet. The overall architecture consists of several remote video servers whose resources are merged into a logically unique and more powerful service provider. The basic abstraction layer needed to achieve inter-server resource coordination and user-server interoperability has been realized through the use of OMG´s CORBA and SUN´s Java facilities. The current implementation of the video servers is based on the DAVID video server developed at the University of Catania (http://sun195.iit.unict.it/david)
