Resumo

Ginga is the middleware for SBTVD, the Brazilian Digital TV System. The purpuse of this study is to extend Ginga, creating a software component that enables it to communicate in a peer-to-peer network, and exposing an API that developers can use to exchange les and messages in the Ginga ecossystem without the need to explore the details of peer-to-peer communication. This required understanding of the workings and structure of the middleware and development tools, and also the investigation of possible protocols for le and message exchange in the new component. This work resulted in the adoption of the XMPP-Jingle protocol in a prototype component, its speci cation and a test case, showing the middleware's proneness to be componentized for use in non-conventional applications.
