The central purpose of this paper is to present a novel framework supporting the specification and the implementation of media streaming services using XML and Java Media Framework (JMF). It provides an integrated service development environment comprising of a streaming service model, a service specification language and several implementation and retrieval tools. Our approach is based on a clear separation of a streaming service specification, and its implementation by a distributed JMF application and can be used for different streaming paradigms, e.g. push and pull services.

Die Vermittlung von Handlungs-und Prozesswissen in der industriellen Produktion erfordert neue Ansätze, insbesondere eine Flexibilisierung und Integration von Lernprozessen in reale Arbeitssituationen. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt das Zwischenergebnis eines größeren Forschungsvorhabens im Bereich Mobile Learning mit kontextbezogenen mobilen Diensten im betrieblichen Umfeld. Er stellt Anforderungen, Lösungsansätze und einen Prototypen zur Realisie-rung von kontextbezogenen mobilen Diensten im Bereichder Unfallverhütung und Sicherheits-einweisungen in Fertigungsprozessen vor. Die zu unterstützenden kontextbezogenen Prozesse eines Industriepartners werden analysiert und unter Verwendung eines Domänenmodells, generi-scher Prozessmodelle und kontextbezogenen mobilen Anwendungen realisiert. Im Beitrag werden außerdem Lösungsansätze für plattformunabhängige mobile Applikationen, sowie die Integration von Persistenzmechanismen und Gerätefunktionen mittels hybrider Ansätze vorgestellt. Ergebnis der Arbeit ist ein erster Prototyp einer hybriden mobilen Applikation der im realen Betrieb syste-matisch getestet und weiterentwickelt wird.
Ein besonderes Merkmal mobiler Dienste ist die Möglichkeit, kontextuelle Gegebenheiten, wie etwa die individuelle Benutzungssituation, bei der Diensterbringung zu berücksichtigen. Mit der Entkoppelung von Lernort und -zeit lässt sich eine Flexibilisierung des Lernprozesses und zugleich eine Integration in reale Arbeitsprozesse, wie z.B. Fertigungsprozesse, erreichen. Durch dieVerwendung mobiler Geräte sind Lernmaterialien direkt am Ort des Geschehens verfügbar. Ziel des kontextbezogenen Lernens ist es daher einen unmittelbaren Zusammenhang zwischen den angebotenen Lernmedien und der Situation, in der sich der Lernende befindet, herzustellen. Existierende Kategorie-Systeme zurKlassifizierung von Kontext genügen dieser Anforderung in der Regel nicht. In diesem Beitrag beschreiben wir Szenarien für kontextbezogenes mobile Learning am Beispiel von Fertigungsprozessen sowie Lösungsansätze für kontextbezogene mobile Dienste.
In this paper we suggest to combine the areas of media streaming services, mobile devices, and manufacturing processes to support monitoring, controlling and supervising production processes in order to achieve high levels of efficiency and environmentally friendly production. It contains a comprehensive and detailed explanation of the proposed E-Learning streaming framework, especially the adaption of streaming services to mobile environments. The key components of our approach are 1) an XML-based streaming service specification language, 2) adaption of multimedia E-Learning services to mobile environments, and 3) a media delivery platform for searching, registration, and creation of streaming services for mobile devices.
Integrating voice / video communication into business processes can accelerate resolution time, reduce mistakes, and establish a full audit-trail of the interactions. Some VoIP service providers offer website based or plugin based solutions, which are, however, difficult to integrate with other applications. A promising approach to overcome these disadvantages is the development of appropriate Web Services to allow applications interacting with a VoIP system. We propose a generic framework for VoIP applications consisting of an XML-based service specification language and a set of reusable Web Service components. Service providers using the proposed service-oriented architecture can offer to their customers a protocol-neutral Web Service interface, thus enabling the deployment of a general and integrated VoIP solution.
The goal of eLearning services integration in manufacturing is, through the development of new multimedia solutions, to accelerate and enhance the ability of the manufacturing industry to capitalise on the emergence of a powerful global information infrastructure. The key components of our approach are: (1) an XML based streaming service specification language; (2) automatic configuration of distributed eLearning streaming service implementations; (3) a set of Web services for searching, registration, and creation of streaming services; (4) caching and replication policies based on timing information derived from the service specifications. We also introduce a new concept for cache management during runtime, e.g., content is distributed to cache servers located at the edge of a network close to the client.
This paper presents a streaming-based E-Learning environment where closer integration between learning and work is achieved by integrating multimedia services into manufacturing processes. It contains a comprehensive and detailed explanation of the proposed E-Learning streaming framework, especially the adaption of streaming services to mobile environments. We first analyze several scenarios where E-Learning streaming services can be integrated into manufacturing processes. To allow systematic and tailor-made integration, we develop a model and a specification language for E-Learning streaming services and apply the model using practical scenarios from real manufacturing processes. Adaption of multimedia streaming services to mobile devices is discussed based on Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL). Last, we comment on the benefits of using E-Learning streaming services as part of manufacturing processes and analyze the acceptance of the developed system. The key components of our E-Learning environment are 1) an xml based streaming service specification language, 2) adaption of multimedia E-Learning services to mobile environments, and 3) Web Services for searching, registration, and creation of E-Learning streaming services.

The goal of E-Learning services integration in manufacturing processes is, through the development of new multimedia services, to accelerate and enhance the ability of manufacturing industry to capitalise on the emergence of a powerful global information infrastructure. In this paper we suggest to combine the areas of media streaming services and manufacturing processes, by providing electronic learning offerings as collections of media streaming services. The key components of our approach are 1) an xml based streaming service specification language, 2) automated configuration of distributed E-Learning streaming applications, 3) Web Services for searching, registration, and creation of E-Learning streaming services.
