Abstract(in English) Home Network attracts attention by the spread of PCs through homes and the appearance of information appliances. And Premises Networks tend to be constructed in some condominiums and schools. We are studying the method of network construction composed by particular area networks, as opposed to the method of unified network construction by carriers. We call a particular area network for an Area Community (AC). In ACs, network systems are constructed for the purpose of each AC. Therefore, protocols and available services (such as contents delivery, visual communication and so on) in each AC may differ. In this paper, we propose the method that the Area Resource Manager (ARM) installed in each AC manages resources (such as network, media conversion server and so on) in each AC. Each ARM selects, searches and reserves the required resources to realize the service requested by users, cooperating with other ARMs. About the communication among ARMs, We study the common program interfaces for the discovery of resources and the share of resources among ACs. By using this method, users can use visual communication services without knowing the functions of destination customer premises equipments, and even if ACs don't have the resources necessary for the services requested by users, ACs can be realized services by borrowing resources from other ACs. We consider that the spread of broadband services can be realized efficiently with ACs functioning as an infrastructure by cooperating with one another.
