“…Bellcore's Touring Machine System The idea behind Bellcore's Touring Machine 1 system is to provide a common platform which facilitates the development and operation of complex multimedia applications [2]. The applications can be developed using an Application Programming Interface (API) which hides the details of the underlying physical networks.…”

“…Some first aspects of application control, particularly as regards session control are dealt with in the ITU-T.l20 series of recommendations on videoconferencing and multi-point communication [!]. Further elaboration of the session control concept can be found in the work carried out in the Bellcore Touring Machine system [2] and Expanse [3] projects. Further standardization work for multimedia network and service control is being done in the ATM Forum and in the ITU-T study groups in the framework of the Broadband ISDN User Part (BISUP) [4] and ISCP ( [5], [6]).…”

This paper focuses on the application control functionality required for future interactive multi-user, multimedia applications. Accordingly a new service control reference model is described which is part of a more general Multimedia Reference Model. This service control reference model introduces application building blocks that facilitate application creation and management in all kinds of multi-user, multi-point and multi-channel environments in interactive video and other multimedia broadband networks. The Multimedia Reference Model is derived by applying the conceptual modelling technique standardized for Intelligent Networks by ITU-T. Based on the service control reference model, a distributed functional architecture is developed which contains -among others -the functionality for application control, session management, and security handling. The functional design of the architecture enables it to be mapped in various ways onto the physical network components, for example, in a set-top box/ video server configuration. The new Multimedia Reference Model is applied to an interactive multi-user video games environment.

The Internet and intranets have been used to deliver continuous media, both stored and live, for a number of years. Most of the attention has focused on providing guaranteed quality of service (RSVP) and end-to-end data transport (RTP), with every application using its own control protocol. In this paper, we describe a control architecture that offers most standard advanced telephony features and integrates stored and conference multimedia. The protocol re-uses much of the "infrastructure" of HTTP, including its security and proxy mechanisms. The architecture is instantiated by two related, but independent protocols: the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for inviting participants to a multimedia session and the Real-Time Stream Protocol (RTSP) to control playback and recording for stored continuous media.
