Distributed multimedia systems

A distributed multimedia system (DMS) is an integrated communication, computing, and information system that enables the processing, management, delivery, and presentation of synchronized multimedia information with quality-of-service guarantees. Multimedia information may include discrete media data, such as text, data, and images, and continuous media data, such as video and audio. Such a system enhances human communications by exploiting both visual and aural senses and provides the ultimate flexibility in work and entertainment, allowing one to collaborate with remote participants, view movies on demand, access on-line digital libraries from the desktop, and so forth. In this paper, we present a technical survey of a DMS. We give an overview of distributed multimedia systems, examine the fundamental concept of digital media, identify the applications, and survey the important enabling technologies.published_or_final_versio

Wireless multimedia networks

Advances in information technologies have made it possible to have Personal Information Service, i.e., personalized multimedia information available anywhere, anytime. Such ubiquitous access requires that a portion of the underlying network infrastructure be wireless. Therefore, a number of challenges associated with operating a wireless multimedia network must be overcome. In this paper we have. identified these challenges and some solutions.published_or_final_versio
