An Execution Architecture for Synchronized Multimedia Presentations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have de ned an execution architecture for playing back synchronized multimedia documents. We suppose that such documents are speci ed by means of several abstractions including hypertime links, time bases, and dynamic layout. Our architecture is based on three concepts: synchronization events, synchronization managers, and synchronizable media objects. It supports the notion of elastic time that adapts to available resources. We have prototyped the architecture using Java and experimented with playback of simple synchronized presentations.

Tools for Specifying and Executing Synchronized Multimedia Presentations
Multimedia applications require the handling of synchronization between media streams. We present tools for creating, editing and presenting synchronized multimedia objects. Specifying synchronization is supported by the graphical Synchronization Editor and execution of multimedia presentations is performed by the Synchronizer. Major topics cover requirements resulting from underlying distribut...
متن کاملBuilding Spatio-Temporal Presentations Warehouses from Heterogeneous Multimedia Web Servers
Building warehouses from existing data sources is one of the main challenges of future information systems. Over the last three years, we defined and experienced an infrastructure called Jaguar (model, language, architecture, and prototype SMIL/JMF) to configure presentations warehouse(s) managers. Such managers provide means to play and query multimedia presentations stored in a warehouse. Thi...
متن کاملDynamic Generation of Intelligent Multimedia Presentations through Semantic Inferencing
This paper first proposes a high-level architecture for semi-automatically generating multimedia presentations by combining semantic inferencing with multimedia presentation generation tools. It then describes a system, based on this architecture, which was developed as a service to run over OAI archives but is applicable to any repositories containing mixed-media resources described using Dubl...
متن کاملStructuring Distributed Multimedia Presentations in Ambient Intelligent Environments
This paper addresses issues of distributing multimedia presentations in an ambient intelligent environment, examines the existing technologies and proposes IPML, a markup language that extends SMIL for distributed settings. It uses a metaphor of play, with which the timing and mapping issues in distributed presentations are covered in a natural way. A generic architecture for playback systems i...
متن کاملRetrieving Consistent Multimedia Presentation Fragments
In this paper we discuss some issues about information retrieval in multimedia presentations. We introduce a class of multimedia presentations made of independent and synchronized media, and discuss retrieval requirements of presentation fragments. Then we discuss a retrieval model able to reconstruct the fragments of a presentation from the atomic components returned by the execution of querie...
