Development of flexible network and flexible video conferencing system

The growth of both the computer communication such as the Internet, and the computational power of computers make the multimedia applications possible for common use. However, some significant problems are still remained unsolved, e.g., the efficient use of resources and the dynamic control of applications for satisfying the users' required QoS. To solve these problems, we have proposed a concept of flexible network which adopts non-algorithmic approaches. In this paper, we explain the design of a flexible network based on ADIPS framework and also demonstrate a prototype of a flexible video conferencing system as an application of the flexible network.
