        Title:      Requirements for Distributed Control of

This document outlines the needs and requirements for a protocol to
control distributed speech processing of audio streams.  By speech
processing, this document specifically means automatic speech
recognition (ASR), speaker recognition -- which includes both
speaker identification (SI) and speaker verification (SV) -- and 
text-to-speech (TTS).  Other IETF protocols, such as SIP and Real 
Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), address rendezvous and control for 
generalized media streams.  However, speech processing presents
additional requirements that none of the extant IETF protocols
address.

This document is a product of the Speech Services Control Working
Group of the IETF.
