Design for an Integrated Streaming Framework

This paper describes a design for an integrated streaming framework that can provide an environment to develop multimedia streaming applications under heterogeneous distributed systems. Our streaming framework was designed to extend the limits of existing streaming systems while offering easy interaction with other streaming systems, to support for diverse media formats and networks, and to provide high level programming environment for streaming application developers. The framework is also compatible with global real - time multimedia DBMS (BeeHive) so that streaming media is efficiently retrieved, stored, and serviced using database systems.
