What is Continuous Media Support in the Distributed Component Object Model about?

The demand for a great variety of sophisticated telecommunications services with multimedia characteristics is increasing. This trend highlights the need for the ef®cient creation of distributed programs with multimedia data exchanges running on distributed processing environments. Therefore, it is necessary to support the object-oriented development of distributed multimedia applications in a ̄exible manner. This paper recognises Microsoft's Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) as a key potential technology in the area of service engineering and examines a structured approach to enhance it for the handling of continuous media streams through the design and implementation of a collection of suitable multimedia support services. The proposed approach focuses on the modelling of continuous media communications in DCOM and is validated through the design and implementation of a multimedia conferencing service. Though the approach is targeted to DCOM, the paper lays a set of concrete concepts for realising stream interfaces in distributed object platforms.
