A Component-Based Conference Control Model and Implementation for Loosely Coupled Sessions

Conference control is a very important core part to compose a completeInternet multimedia conference system and has been a hot research area over the years, but there arecurrently no -widely accepted robust and scalable solutions and standards. This paper proposes acomponent-based conference control model for loosely coupled sessions in which media applicationscan collaborate with a Session Controller (SC) to provide the conference control. A SC prototype hasbeen built.

2007 IEEE International Conference on Networking,Sensing and Control

Conference Theme-Anti-Crime Networking and Systems The 2007 IEEE International Conference on Networking,Sensing and Control will be held in London. The main theme of the conference is anti-crime networking and critical infrastructure.The area of anti- crime networking and critical infrastructure is a fusion of a number of research areas in networking, sensing,human factors,artificial intelligence,operational research,and systems control theory. However,the real challenge is to design anti-crime networking and systems from a holistic perspective; taking into account technical,organizational as well as contextual complexity.A system engineering approach is required to address new problems of this challenging and promising area.This conference will provide a remarkable opportunity for the academic and industrial community to address new challenges and share solutions,and discuss future research directions.It will feature plenary speeches, industrial panel sessions,funding agency panel sessions,interactive sessions,and invited/special sessions.Contributions are expected from academia,industry,EPSRC,EU,DTI,and MoD.Technical topics of the conference include but are not limited to:

A Study of Broadband Intelligent Network Implementing Video Conference and Multicast Routing Algorithm

The dissertation studies the architecture of broadband intelligent network (BIN) and implementation of video conference based on ATM network and of multicast routing problem on video conference using BIN under the aid of the important task Study of IN and B ISDN Integration (69896244) sponsored by National Natural Science Fund. A lot of points of view and solutions are present. The main contributions in the dissertation are as follows:\; (1) Design the new architecture of BIN and improve the architecture of BIN proposed by ITU T. It is easy to set up the connections of video conference using the new architecture of BIN.\; (2) Present the detailed scheme that BIN controls and implements video conference without specialized resource function, study the scheme of all the media on video conference transmitted and switched under the control of BIN, and discuss how to implement point to multipoint communications using BIN.\; (3) First present the scheme of implementing multicast routing algorithms on video conference using BIN.\; (4) Explicitly introduce a series of concepts including neighboring node, neighboring node set, neighboring edge, then propose an Adjustable Dynamic Multicast (ADM) routing algorithm which is suitable for video conference, analyze its performances, and prove the algorithm is appropriate and feasible.\; (5) Develop a degree constrained dynamic multicast (DADM) routing algorithm which can find less cost multicast routing tree. The results of simulation and experiments confirm that DADM algorithm can find the less cost multicast tree. Finally, analyze the relation between the size of degree constrained and value of multicast tree cost.\; (6) Present a delay constrained dynamic multicast routing algorithm suitable for video conference characteristic, and advise a series of schemes reducing the delay of transmitting all the media on videoconference.\; (7) First propose implementing the reliable multicast routing transport protocol using BIN, thereby ACK implosion problem can be solved. The protocol only requires finite memory and is scalable.
