| Objectives: | ||||||
| The objective of this proposal will primarily be, to develop a platform where different technologies may be integrated and bridged across to add value to services provided to users. The major contributions, making our approach unique will be its adoption of the multi-device user scenario, where multiple devices may be used simultaneously for content delivery and communication session, with facilities for the incorporation of dynamically changing user preferences. | ||||||
| Proposed Approach: | ||||||
|
The primary goal of this proposal is to develop a network-based middleware, MuDRA (Multi-Device Rendezvous Architecture), which will empower the network infrastructure to enable multi-device, multi-modal communication for mobile users. Being an innovative approach and an incremental solution to the proposed problem, we propose to look into some of the challenges mentioned earlier. Session specific, user specific personalization choices will be enabled by employing application level intermediaries within the network. The intermediary we propose to develop will be architecturally aligned with the IETF Open Pluggable Edge Services (OPES) architecture. Some of the unique features of the research direction taken by this project include the provision for user-defined rules for content delivery, dynamic and intelligent application-layer routing of data based on the capabilities of devices used by a user and the consideration of real-time streaming media as the content to be distributed. กก
