Towards a Distributed Quality of Service Handler for Multimedia Presentations
نویسنده
چکیده
Distributed multimedia presentation, involving different media objects on different servers, must strictly follow its defined temporal scenario. Out of synchronization is a fundamental problem in case of distributed multimedia. In this paper, we introduce a distributed QoS handler, whose aim is to distribute the QoS adaptation tasks among all the servers holding the media object. In this case, the client is considerably freed from the QoS-related tasks and it focuses only on playing the received, adapted media objects and notifying the end of their presentation to the concerned servers. This will lead to a better load balance for playing a distributed multimedia application, where the tasks of applying QoS rules and playing the objects are better distributed among the playing client and the media object servers.

Network Quality of Service for Multimedia Presentation Generation Systems
Quality of Service (QoS) protocols and architectures play an important role in distributed multimedia systems since multimedia presentations need to be played for the user without stalls, necessitating guaranteed response times. However in the Internet no other QoS than best–effort is given. This report investigates some QoS architectures and protocols designed to overcome these limitations and...

The paper describes recent progress in research on database system support for executing multimedia presentations. It proposes the general concept of Reactive Playout Management to adjust multimedia presentations. This adjustment can be required due to performance fluctuations as in the absence of end-to-end quality of service guarantees, cost constraints specified by the user, and other reason...
متن کاملA Multi-level Buffering and Feedback Scheme for Distributed Multimedia Presentation Systems
Distributed multimedia presentation systems require flexibility and good quality of service for multimedia data presentations. To ensure flexible and satisfiable presentations of multimedia data, collaborations between servers, network, and clients must be carefully designed to retrieve the data from the disk and transfer the data to the client. In this paper, we investigate a multi-level buffe...

We present an innovative approach for providing en-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees in a distributed multimedia setting. Quality of Perception (QoP) is a term which encompasses not only a user’s satisfaction with the quality of multimedia presentations, but also his/her ability to analyse, synthesise and assimilate the informational content of multimedia displays. The basics of a mapp...
