OpenMediaPlatform (Jan 2008 - Dec 2009) aims at defining an open service infrastructure for media-rich end-user devices that will address software productivity and optimal service delivery challenges.
OMP innovatively combines two main streams of modern software engineering:
- split compilation techniques that leverage component based SW engineering and provide binary portability (CLI standard) with no performance penalty
- standardized and open application programmers’ interfaces (API) for advanced multimedia stacks that support resource management and context awareness at component level
Together, these two technologies will deliver a computing tools infrastructure and a media infrastructure to ensure optimal deployment of dynamically composed media services that scale with device and network capabilities. The OMP approach will be demonstrated using scalable video coding on two different platforms.
