An OWLS based architecture for self-optimizing multimedia over IP services

This article presents an architecture to manage a multimedia over IP delivery service. It considers user’s expectations as the main metric that defines the quality of the service thus assuring an efficient resource and effort investment by network operators. The proposed architecture integrates into a single platform both required elements as well as involved processes in a multimedia over IP delivery scenario. In order to achieve a scalable solution, a distributed proposal is made according to proven modeling techniques, with maximum decoupling and composition. Web Services have turned out to be a valid approach to specify involved components. It is necessary, however, to extend the capabilities that web services provide with alternative technologies such as OWL-S to integrate both components and processes into a single unified specification of the management architecture.
