ARMIDA(TM): Multimedia applications across ATM-based networks accessed via Internet navigation
ARMIDA(TM) (Applications Retrieving Multimedia Information Distributed over ATM) is a prototypical system for experimental applications based on the interactive retrieval of multimedia information from remote data bases over ATM networks. ARMIDA(TM) aims at being compliant with the specifications issued by the ''Digital Audio Visual Council'' (DAVIC) for interactive multimedia services and applications, as well as at representing a sample implementation of the system specified in DAVIC 1.0. The present paper illustrates the way ARMIDA(TM) works to provide these applications, by describing the system hardware and software architecture and its main components, with a particular concern towards the way they interact to implement the required functionality.
