Design of Software Architecture for Smart Meeting Space

This paper introduces the software design for smart meeting space (SMeet) that enables users to collaborate with remote persons by using a wide range of devices embedded in networked meeting rooms. To enhance the quality of user experience in remote collaboration, SMeet is designed to satisfy several considerations from the integrated view of media, networking, display, and interaction services. We propose a software architecture of SMeet to flexibly associate component services to support high-quality media transport, high-resolution tiled display, and display interaction. We also present an approach to create composite services by combining component services. We explain key issues to dynamically build composite services and to integrate the service composition scheme with the proposed software architecture.
