Designing Middleware System for Media Contents

Abstract

This paper attempts to consider future networks especially ad-hoc and wearable ones for media contents and game development. The study examined the consideration and the implementation of multi-agent system to support commercial or open source software for sound generating and computer graphics in personal area network (PAN). The multi-agent system maintains context information of sensors and users, and provides the event for contents application. In order to consider sensor network and global network, the ad-hoc network and peer-to-peer network are expected to use for organizing PAN. To implement the service on PAN, the widget integration framework (WIF), ontology and UML based context modeling approaches are considered and reported. (Balakrishman, et al.) On the other hand, we consider the Web service and possibility of future media contents in PAN. The research on wireless communication expects that next generation network consists of information appliances, sensors and wireless devices in PAN. Wearable computing has been researched for taking location and body information from small computers, and the efficient design of mobile HCI is emerging. Many papers report these technologies will be used for media art contents and game development. The digital contents will use these sensor s and mobile device in PAN. When the players join the game space with wearable computer in PAN, the mobile agent establishes the self-organized network in heterogeneous devices. In this paper, we consider the novel framework for media contents by hybrid ambient network
