Abstract

An improved system and method for providing multimedia data in a networked system is disclosed. The present invention provides a platform of distributed client-server computing and access to data over asymmetric real-time networks (120). A service mechanism allows applications to be split such that client devices (110) (set-top boxes, personal digital assistants, etc.) can focus on presentation, while back-end services running in a distributed server complex (100), provide access to data via messaging across an abstracted interface.
