Therefore, these networks have to be modified in order to be able to support real-time communications. In this project we elaborate new techniques for fault-tolerance which allow one to accept some deficiencies in network quality (e.g. packet losses). The techniques we investigated and analysed are either part of some dedicated middleware or they are directly supported by the distributed applications. In case of audio / video communications, which has been the focus of our studies up to now, we are analysing, in detail, techniques such as FEC, adaptive video encoding, information dispersal, traffic smoothing as well as combinations of these techniques [Richter 2000], [Wolfinger et al. 2001]. Both, quantitative and qualitative assessments of the improvement in video quality are focal points of our research [Heidtmann et al. 2001].

Network of Excellence in Distributed and Dependable Computing Systems Acronym: BASS Project Title: Broadband Access Services Solution URL:http://www.dsg.cs.tcd.ie/sites/BASS.html Start Date: January 2000 End Date: June 2001 CaberNet Members Involved: Trinity College, Dublin; Karlsruhe University, Germany The Project: The BASS project aims to enlarge the number of people with access to global resources i.e. information and ideas, by evaluating and proposing mechanisms to provide "broadband" connection to multimedia services at reasonable costs and with the appropriate level of quality. Potential broadband multimedia applications include residential user access to virtual learning services. Today’s broadband services are characterised by many users accessing many services across a crowded Internet via a few ISPs. There is no guaranteed Quality of Service for access. New services exacerbate this internet congestion as consumers adopt Voice over IP and networked appliances such as gaming consoles. The Internet bottleneck must be overcome by intelligently routing the customer traffic to guarantee Quality of Service. The BASS technology achieves QoS guarantees by routing customer traffic directly to multiple service providers through the public packet network, thereby bypassing the problems of Internet congestion. BASS also addresses how to maintain a guaranteed Quality of Service with multiple diverse uses of a single xDSL line. An important evaluation is how well a system model satisfies Quality of Service requirements. The BASS project have developed an Automatic Formal Methods based Verification System (AFM-VS) to guarantee that system models satisfies specified QoS requirements, particularly transport level QoS e.g. throughput, jitter delay etc. List of relevant chapters: Distributed Multimedia Platforms Three publications reporting outcomes from the project: T.

Network of Excellence in Distributed and Dependable Computing Systems Acronym: CAMS Project Title: Context-Aware Mobile Services URL: http://www.dsg.cs.tcd.ie/sites/CAMS.html Start Date: 2001 End Date: 2003 CaberNet Members Involved: Trinity College, Dublin The Project: CAMS project focuses on developing a context-oriented application model for ubiquitous computing. The CAMS middleware allows data streams from sensors embedded in daily artefacts to be fused into high-level abstractions. The approach taken in CAMS is to build and experiment with actual sensor-augmented artefacts. The first test-bed is a table tennis scenario where sensors have been embedded in the table, bats and mats. Global computing foresees a massively networked environment supporting a large population of diverse but cooperating entities. Due to the potentially highly mobile environment, the composition and characteristics of this network will be both highly dynamic and unpredictable. As pervasive environments and ubiquitous computing become closer to reality, the differences between infrastructure and wireless networks will become ever more transparent to the user, i.e. it will becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish wireless ad-hoc infrastructures with wired, fixed ones. A mobile user will expect context rich information regardless of current physical location or network structure. This is the main focus of the CAMS project, where meaningful context from sensor-rich environments is extracted enabling context-sensitive applications. The CAMS middleware processes the data flow possibly through augmentation or fusion produced by the sensors and generates an event stream that can be monitored by applications.
