Abstract

Abstract. The world implementation of Interactive Digital Television(iDTV) has led to the emergence of technologies that offer the concept of new business models. There aren't currently any private/public repositories for an imminent market of software components for Digital Television industry, or any techniques providing registration and discovery of services at runtime. This paper presents a standard XLM-based language for software components specification running for digital television. Such language is part of a methodology and a set of tools for the deployment of a trading service and repositories of TV services being developed by the company Alborada Engineers IDI.

The present paper is based on both studies but improves the component and relationship definitions, and also provides a real implementation of Smart TV interactive system.…”
