✦ Synopsis

Application of Distributed Platforms in a Video Surveillance System

O ne of the key aspects in the development of distributed and complex network applications has been the establishment of commonly accepted distributed middleware platforms able to provide an effective solution as far as the development effort versus performance tradeoff is concerned. Based on research work supported on two current key distributed technologies, CORBA and DCOM, the objective of this paper is to show how distributed platforms can be used in a video surveillance system and how they influence the performance of the real-time video service in comparison to other solutions, namely based on Windows Sockets. As far as the performance issue is concerned, the paper identifies the relevant parameters that should be assessed to characterize such video service and presents and discusses results from experiments carried in a testbed. Based on the results obtained, recommendations are formulated concerning the use of distributed platforms in time-bound distributed applications with requirements similar to video surveillance systems.
