Distributed Multimedia Workstation For Medieval Manuscripts
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the Web version of the philological workstation BAMBI (Better Access to Manuscript and Browsing of Images) and its design. The BAMBI Web workstation allows historians, and more particularly philologists, to work on manuscripts (transcription, annotations, indexing, etc.) alongside the Internet network. Our approach for the Web implementation of the philological workstation is based on the reuse of the local BAMBI software. We have used the formalism of UML (Unified Modelling Language) for the distributed software design, and especially the concepts based on the diagrams of collaboration.The implementation is based on the ActiveX approach.

متن کاملA Network Architecture for Distributed Multimedia Systems
This paper presents a novel network architecture for distributed multimedia systems. The VuNet is a gigabit-per-second desk/local-area ATM network which interconnects general-purpose workstations, network-based multimedia devices and bridges to other networks. During the course of an application, media streams are exchanged between the workstations and devices in a seamless manner. This archite...
متن کاملSwitcherland - A Scalable Interconnect for Distributed Multimedia Systems
This paper describes a scalable interconnect for distributed multimedia systems based on crossbar switches. The interconnect is scalable in that it can be used to interconnect a distributed system at different levels. At the lowest level, the interconnect replaces an I/O bus of a workstation in that a switch connects processors and memory with I/O devices. If a large number of devices have to b...
متن کاملWorkstation Support for Real-Time Multimedia Communication
We show how multimedia applications with real-time requirements can be supported in a distributed system. A UNIX system has been modiied to give soft real-time support. The modiications include deadline-based scheduling, preemption points and prioritized interrupt processing. In addition, a system call interface for real-time application programming has been designed. We justify the modiication...
متن کاملA Network Interface Unit to Support Continuous Media
The combination of high speed multi-service networks and multimedia workstations offers considerable potential for the development of distributed multimedia applications. However, many challenges remain before this potential can be realised. One key challenge is how to integrate continuous media types such as audio and video into a distributed workstation environment. This paper describes an ex...
