Agent-based framework for software on-demand

This paper introduces an agent-based framework and a programming environment for the software on-demand (SOD) service. Streaming is a technology that enables either real-time or on-demand distribution of audio, video, and multimedia contents over networks. Recently streaming technology has been applied onto applications, and many deployment tools for enterprise applications have been developed. ETRI is also planning to provide the software on-demand service using the streaming technology through the Internet. This paper introduces an agent-based framework for the SOD system and presents programming environments for streaming service
