Multimedia collaboration architecture for the digital home

Home Serverplays an important role to manage all home network device.? and multimedia content services in the digital home. Midtimedia collaboration over wireless devices is inhibited by several factors and reqirire.s and advanced sojhare architecture to support bandwidth reservation. QoS, reliahilih.. availabilitv and securih.. Tl7e decision based on a single input and a single secirrif?, agent to serve all the needs of the home iiser.? is to he enhanced to facilito/e midti-modal inputs with mitltiple integrated User Agents working together to facilitate the new generation of dvnamic wireless 1iser.s at home. Citmulated with /he rechnoloa trend of decreasing display sizes and everincreasing array offeatiires available to the user. it is ve'y drfticirh to displyv all the features on the shrinking displays.
