In the distributed multimedia document system, media objects distributed over a computer network are retrieved from their sources and presented to users according to specifed temporal relations. For effective presentation, synchronization have to he supported. Furthermore, presentation in distributed environments is influenced by network band with and delay, so they have to be considered for synchronization. This paper propose a distributed multimedia presentation model that supports synchronization effectively. In this model, when media objects are transfered from servers to a client, network situation and resources are monitored and thus a feedback message for change of them is sent to sever. Then, the sever adjusts the data sending rate to control synchronization.

효과적인 프리젠테이션을 위해서는 동기화가 지원되어야 하며, 특히, 분산 환경에서의 프리젠테이션은 네트워크 대역폭과 지연시간 등에 의해 영향을 받기 때문에, 그러한 요소들이 고려되어 동기화가 지원되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 미디어들이 각 서버로부터 전송 될 때 네트워크의 상태와 자원을 검사하여 그에 따른 변화를 서버에 피드백시켜, 서버로부터 전송되는 데이터의 양을 조절함으로서 동기화를 지원하는 분산 멀티미디어 프리젠테이션 모델을 제안한다.

In the distributed multimedia document system, media objects distributed over a computer network are retrieved from their sources and presented to users according to specified temporal relations. For effective presentation, synchronization has to be supported. Furthermore, since the presentation in the distributed environment is influenced by the network bandwidth and delay, they should be considered for synchronization. This paper proposes a distributed multimedia presentation system that performs presentation effectively in the distributed environment. And it also suggests a method to supports synchronization, in which, network situation and resources are monitored when media objects are transferred from servers to a client. Then a feedback message for the change of them is sent to the server so that the server might adjust the data sending rate to control synchronization. To monitor the situation of network, we use two methods together. One is to manage the level of the buffer by setting thresholds on a buffer and the other is to check the difference between the sending time of a packet from the server and the arrival time of the packet to the client.

Many multimedia presentation applications involve retrieval of objects from more than one collaborating server. Presentations of objects from different collaborating servers might be interdependent. This implies that objects should be retrieved from remote servers and delivered continuously according to given time constraints. Such applications need an estimate of the avaliable network resources to each of the collaborating servers and local system resources in order to identify a schedule for retrieving the objects composing the presentation. A collaborating server can suggest modifications of the retrieval schedule depending on its load. these modifications can potentially affect the retrieval schedule for other collaborating applications. Hence, a sequence of negotiations has to be carried out with the collaborating servers in order to commit for a retrieval schedule of the objects composing the presentation. In this paper, we propose an application sub-layer protocol, RLCP(Resource Lock Commit Protocol), for handling the negotiation and commitment of the resources required for a collaborative multimedia presentation and apply it to distributed video presentation application.

Method for synchronizing multimedia data is needed to support continuous transmission of multimedia data through a network in a bounded time and it also required for supporting continuous presentation of multimedia data with the required norminal playout rate in distributed network environments. This paper describes a new synchronization method for supporting delay-sensitive multimedia Presentation without degration of Quality of services of multimedia application. It mainly aims to support both intermedia and intermedia synchronization by absorbing network variations which may cause skew or jitter. In order to remove asynchonization problems, we make use of logical time system, dynamic buffer control method, and adjusting synchronization intervals based on the quality of services of a multimedia. It might be more suitable for working on distribute[1 multimedia systems where the network delay variation is changed from time to time and no global clock is supported. And it also can effectively reduce the amount of buffer requirements needed for transfering multimedia data between source and destination system by adjusting synchronization intervals with acceptable packet delay limits and packet loss rates.

In this paper, we describe a multimedia data processing model that supports wide variety of applications based on multimedia production model. This model supports network-transparent access to stored multimedia data, real-time mult media input devices, and multimedia processing. The model addresses real-time dato a switching and delivery, as well as acquisition, processing, and output. Most translation, compression, and synchronization services are integrated. This model consists of three layers: (1) stream, (2) multimedia presentation, (3) hyperpresentaion. This paper describes the data abstractions associated with each layer. These data abstractions provide a framework for defining the services provided by each layer, and describe the object-oriented mechanisms that provide those services. A sample scenario is presentated to illustrate the use of this model. A server-client architecture and implementation issues, and future directions are also discussed. sed.

The concept of a hyperpresmtation, as an extension of a hypermedia, is the presentation in which time-varying multimedia presentations are dynamically linked together and a hyperlink's context can be changed over time at any time during a continuous presentation. Problems caused by integrating the hyperpresentation into an existing multimedia system which handles a sequential presentation only are, how to describe the hyperprcsentation, how to set up a hyperlink on a continuous media, and how to check the consistency of the synchronized presentations. In this paper. a new synchronization description method for the hyperpresentation and a method for setting a hyper link on a continuous media during" presentation are proposed after havin!; SHrvey of existing methods, The proposed method deals with only the DC value in a stream ut a DCT based compressed data for checking a condition of te link. Finally, the method for checking the consistency of mixed presentations before actual play of the hnlerpresentation is described. Proposed methods are implemented on MuX(Multimedia IO Server) where a sample scenario is tested.

Effective synchronization specification model which can specify temrxlral relationship among media resolving asynchronous problem due to variable network delay is necessary in a distributed multimedia system. Therefore in this paper, we propose RTPN(Real- Time Petri Net) synchronization specification model based on Petri Net for multimedia application in a distributed real time environment. The proposed RTPN model supplies a tlexible decsription of the temporal relationship among various media objects by defining primary key media and relative key media according to delay and importance among media. Firing rule is instantly executed by firing function based on QoS values which supports intra-media and inter-media syncbronization. And asynchronous control algorithm for resynchronization of presentation level is possible more effective supporting of QoS.
