Continuous Media Sharing in Multimedia Database Systems

چکیده
The timeliness and synchronization requirements of multimedia data demand e&ient buffer management and disk access schemes for multimedia database systems. The data rates involved are very high and despite the developmenl of eficient storage and retrieval strategies, disk I/O is a potential bottleneck, which limits the number of concurrent sessions supported by a system. This calls for more eficient use of data that has already been brought into the buffer. We introduce the notion of continuous media caching, which is a simple and novel technique where data that have been played back by a user are preserved in a controlled fashion for use by subsequent users requesting the same data. We present heuristics to determine when continuous media sharing is beneficial and describe the bufler management algorithms. Simulation studies indicate that our technique substantially improves the performance of multimedia database applications where data sharing is possible.

Current database management system techniques are insuucient to support the management of multimedia data owing to their time-sampled nature. The extension of database systems to support multimedia applications thus requires new mechanisms to ensure the synchronized presentation of multimedia data streams. In order to exibly and eeciently present multimedia data streams to users, media streams ...

متن کاملUpgrading Multimedia Data Handling Services of a Database Management System by an Interaction Manager
Abstract A multimedia database management system (MM-DBMS) supports the development of multimedia applications and the handling of multimedia data at runtime. It explicitly handles continuous data such as video, audio and animation. The user of a MM-DBMS gets all the support he needs to store, manipulate, and present such data. Hence application development is not forced to deal with the implem...
