Mohanavelu Network Research Group School of Computer Sciences Universiti Sains Malaysia 1 1800 Penang, Malaysia sures@cs.usm.my ABSTRACT As networks grow larger and faster, new forms of applications have to be created to support these massive infrastructures. Just as great highways are built to support an increase in traffic, high bandwidth networks are implemented to support large amounts of network traffic. One particular application of interest is the ability to use networks to assist in certain function, like tracking of oil spills, weather patterns, disaster warning etc. However, most areas where such fire prevention is needed, the bandwidths and network infrastructure is still being built and is generally very limited. The topic of this paper is an application related to disaster warning, which is fire warning. This paper discusses the structure of a fully distributed multimedia network architecture to support early fire detection. The above research is being funded in parts by Universiti Sains Malaysia and Multemedia Reasearch Lab. INTRODUCTION As the global community is being connected by larger and faster networks, new forms of applications have to be created to support these massive infrastructures. Just as great highways are built to support an increase in traffic, high bandwidth networks like APAN(Asia Pasicific Advanced Networks) are implemented to support large amounts of networks traffic. High Bandwidth networks also allow for post-processed satellite images relating to fire matters to be transmitted to related sites fairly quickly. The types of traffic that can be seen by these networks can be broadly classified under 3 categories: > Traffic that need not be real-time transference (like email, ftp, http etc.) > Traffic that need to be real-time but non-interactive (like video streaming) > Traffic that need to be real-time and interactive (like telnet, chat, document/video conferencing and full multimedia conferencing,) Real-time Multimedia applications (interactive and non interactive) are becoming an important part of today’s networks. Such applications are gaining popularity for both the Internet and Corporate Intranets. Some of the reasons include the following: > Multimedia applications can be easily seen, heard and understood. > Video streaming will allow instantaneous access to video files scattered around the globe. necessary. This focus of this paper is to discuss the design and implementation of such a distributed system. This distributed system should also be implemented in a black box style format, where the inputs, outputs and requirements of the black box are clearly defined. Also, they can plug into a network and perform their functionality or be unplugged without crashing the system. Message passing is done by using IP. Thus IP packets are used to transmit both control and data information to these entities and the output will be IP formatted packets as well. This paper will take us step by step from the theory, design stages and finally the implementation, testing and commissioning of an example application which uses this distributed architecture. This application is called RMS (Remote Monitoring System), a central Multi-point Multimedia streaming system. THE REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM Remote monitoring is a process where a remote area is monitored from a distance. Remote Monitoring System shortly RMS is developed for that purpose with some additional features. The basic concept would be a computer attached to a camera would act as a server and send images to clients connected to it through the internet. Here, we are looking at this application for early fire detection in the forest i.e. RMS as a surveillance system for forest fires. This system would be set up according to Figure 1 . A camera, which is placed on a vantage point, like a tower on a hill top, would be attached to a computer (server). This camera would be capturing images of the area desired to be monitored. The server would be also In order to allow the current and future network structures to support such high bandwidth and resource hungry applications, a form of distributed processing is
