Design and implementation of MEAN stack-based scalable real-time Digital Signage System

Abstract

Most of conventional DSS (Digital Signage System) have been built based on LAMP framework. Recent researches have shown that MEAN stack framework is simpler, more flexible, faster and more suitable for web-based application than LAMP framework. In this paper, we propose a design and implementation of MEAN stack-based scalable real-time digital signage system (SR-DSS), which supports handing real-time tasks like urgent/instant messaging, system status monitoring and so, efficiently in addition to conventional digital signage CMS tasks. The architecture of the proposed digital signage system, SR-DSS is described and design and implementation issues are clarified in more detail. Through testing, it is observed that SR-DSS operates smoothly and shows better throughput performance compared to a well-known open source LAMP-based digital signage system Xibo, but it is also observed that we need more extensive testing and improvement for securing reliability. © 2017 IEEE.
