An adaptation platform for multimedia applications CSC (component, service, connector)

摘要

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to present a supervised adaptation platform for applications-based components. Design/methodology/approach - The platform is designed using a model based top-down approach. The authors use UML diagrams and particularly scenarios and activity diagrams. Findings - The CSC (component, service and connector) platform is based on a component/service model that allows adaptation of component-based applications and uses service-oriented architecture for providing adaptation services to be embedded in adaptation connectors. Originality/value - The paper proposes CSC, a self-adaptation platform based on MMSA, to describe software architectures for multimedia-oriented application and providing adaptation capabilities. The platform is based on services and offer architecture, with three layers particularly adapted to adaptation of multimedia flow (types, formats, properties) and which allows solving the heterogeneity problems of components.
