After one year release of the MONSTER framework and successful deployment within international test beds, it is now time to widen our horizon with tight integration to WEB and IPTV. The MONSTER framework has been integrated into a unified software toolkit called myMONSTER (www.mymonster.org).
The Multimedia Open InterNet Services and Telecommunication EnviRonment (MONSTER) toolkit developed by Fraunhofer FOKUS has been extended to include toolkits to enable the creation of rich terminal applications compliant not only to NGN, but now also supports IPTV and web standards. myMONSTER provides three toolkits - for communication, television and web approaches. These toolkits can be combined flexibly to develop software clients operating on telecommunication, TV and Internet platforms alike.
We are proud to announce the next release of the MONSTER framework version 0.9.8. This version is released for three different platforms (Windows Mobile, Windows and Linux). For the Windows and Linux versions, we have introduced a new look and feel, based on the Swing UI technology. This enhances the user friendliness, easy configuration settings and provides an integrated communication views for multimedia sessions. An overview to the new release can be downloaded here (see attachment), while the download section provides you the installation packages for the respective platforms. Have fun with it and we will be grateful for any useful feedbacks.
