Principal Architecture

Here you can see the pricipal architecture of the ekStream Client. All Components are linked together with Interfaces following the consumer/producer principal. Therefor each component can easily be replaced.

We want to reach the following goals:

• Usable as a research plattform
• Independency of operation systems
  
• Replaceable components
• More than one streaming source and sink for each client
• Open and flexible architectue
• And it should also work ;)
