چکیده
The widespread use of multimedia resources has been demanding the reengineering of a broad class of supporting software in order to ease the implementation of multimedia applications. In this paper , we address the features a database system should provide in order to support multimedia applications, with emphasis on its integration to distributed platforms. The architecture of a prototype multimedia database, the Multiware Database, is presented.

Towards an Architecture for Distributed Multimedia Applications Support
In this paper we present the basic principles of a general architecture for distributed multimedia applications support over ATM-based networks. The architecture is aimed at providing the services, the mechanisms and the interactions required by multimedia applications. The architecture is based on the quality of service and communication management functions associated to the services it provi...
متن کاملTowards a Responsive Network Protocol
Providing a responsive network architecture is essential to future distributed systems. In this paper, a new model that incorporates the foundations for a responsive network architecture is proposed. This model guarantees noti cation of requests transmitted to the network in bounded time. Its functionalities augment existing resource reservation protocols that support multimedia communication. ...

Lam Department of Computer Sciences The University of Texas at Austin Austin, Texas 78712-1188 December 4, 1995 Abstract In designing operating system support for distributed multimedia, we target three areas for improvement: reduced copying, reduced reliance on explicit kernel/user interactions, and provision of rate-bas...
متن کاملNetwork integrated multimedia middleware, services, and applications
Today, there is a strong trend towards networked multimedia devices. However, common multimedia software architectures are restricted to perform all processing on a single system. Available software infrastructures for distributed computing – commonly referred to as middleware – only partly provide the facilities needed for supporting multimedia in distributed and dynamic environments. Approach...
متن کاملCoordinating Components In The Multimedia System Services Architecture
The purpose of this work is to examine and exploit the potential of the coordination paradigm to act as the main communication and synchronization mechanism between components forming a distributed multimedia environment and exhibiting real-time properties. Towards this purpose, we have developed a mechanism for coordinating the distributed execution of components, as these are defined by the M...
