  1. Introduction • Providing Quality-of-Service (QoS) to users of distributed multimedia services is a difficult problem. • The service user must be given the capabiltiy to express his requirements for the receiving service in terms of QoS parameters familiar to him. • It requires a vertically integrated architecture that can deliver end-to-end QoS guarantees at multiple levels of an entire distributed system. • We present an object-oriented QoS management middleware for managing QoS of distributed multimedia services and applications. • A key component in this middleware is QoS Management Service Object (QMSO), providing multimedia applications with QoS management service APIs.

  2. Related Work • Int-serv Architecture • Provides controlled QoS for multimedia applications over an integrated services internetwork. • OSI QoS Framework • Defines terminology and concepts for QoS and provides a model which identifies objects of interest to QoS in open system standards • QoS-A • Provides a layered architecture of services and mechanisms for quality of service management • QuAL • Quality Assurance Language (QuAL) for the specification of QoS constraints on underlying computing and communication platforms. • Quality of Service for CORBA Objects (QuO) • Supports QoS at the CORBA layer and extends the CORBA functional Interface Description Language (IDL) with a QoS Description Language (QDL)

  4. QoS Management Information Base (MIB) • QoS MIB can be used to monitor and control QoS values in multimedia services • Composed of 4 Informational Groups • Service, Application, System and Network • QoS MIB can be extended by adding the service-specific QoS management information

  5. QMSO Services (1) • QoS Specification • The value of QoS parameter can be acquired using the three methods • device specification, off-line testing and on-line testing • QoS Monitoring • QoS monitoring modes: a query mode and a report mode • We use the report mode • Negotiation and Renegotiation • The QoS parameters are exchanged between server and client through peer-to-peer negotiation and layer-to-layer negotiation • peer-to-peer negotiation : between server and client • layer-to-layer negotiation : between the layers

  6. QMSO Services (2) • QoS Mapping • Maps one layer QoS parameters onto other QoS parameters and vice versa (bidirectional translation) • One-to-one mapping, Mixing and Splitting (Demultiplexing) • Admission Control • The QMSO performs admission control at both layers : system and network • System level • device quality test, local schedulability test, end-to-end (EED) delay test and buffer allocation test • Network level • throughput test, rate control test and network EED delay test

  9. Video Conferencing Example with QoS Guarantees

  10. Conclusion & Future Work • We presented a QoS management framework which includes QoS Management Service Object (QMSO) and a generic QoS MIB. As a realization of the QoS management framework, object-oriented QoS management middleware has been developed. • This provides distributed multimedia applications with QoS management APIs. It simplifies the development and maintenance of distributed multimedia applications, providing QoS guarantees. • We also described our effort on the prototype implementation of a Web-based QoS management system for MAESTRO. • The prototype QoS management system uses OrbixWeb to interface with the management server, which is implemented as a CORBA object. • This QoS management middleware can be used to provide QoS in CORBA-based as well as non-CORBA-based multimedia systems.
