ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG11 MPEG은 20여 개 국가에서 3-400명에 이르는 인원이 참석하는 유망한 국제 표준화 회의로, 국내에서도 다수의 기술자들이 참여하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기술 표준화 회의에 있어 지금까지 경험적으로만 관측되어 온 표준화 과정과 경향들을 표준화 기고서 조사를 통해 정량적으로 분석하는 방법을 제시한다. 또한 이를 실증하기 위해 MPEG-21 DIA 국제표준의 표준화 과정에 실제 적용하여, 문서 속성과 시계열에 따라 조사 결과를 분석하였다.

The Part 7 of MPEG-21, called Digital Item Adaptation, aims at an interoperable transparent access of multimedia contents in heterogeneous environments. This standard facilitates the development of Universal Multimedia Access (UMA) systems, which adapt the rich multimedia contents to provide user the best possible presentation under the constraints of various terminals and network connections. Content adaptation has two major aspects: one is modality conversion that converts content from one modality (e.g. video) to different modalities (e.g. image) the other is content scaling that changes the titrates (or qualities) of the contents without converting their modalities. At the output of adaptation process, the highly-subjective qualities of adapted contents nay vary widely with respect to point-of-views of different providers and different users. So, user should have some control on the adaptation process. In this paper, we describe two description tools of user characteristics, the presentation priority preference and the modality conversion preference, which allow user to have flexible choices on the qualities and modalities of output contents. We also present a systematic approach to integrate these user preferences into the adaptation process. These description tools are developed in the process of MPEG-21 standardization.

This paper describes design and implementation of the DIDL(Digital Item Declaration Language) parser and Session mobility in Digital Item Adaptation. The DIDL is a declaration language which is a uniform and flexible abstraction and interoperable schema for declaring Digital Items. Session mobility specifies a mechanism to preserve a user's current state of interaction with a Digital Item. In this paper, Session mobility is implemented through the DIDL. For session mobility, the XDI (context digital item) shall capture the configuration-state of a Content digital item, shich is defined by the state of Selection elements in DIDL.

Video adaptation in response to dynamic resource conditions and user preferences is required as a key technology to enable universal multimedia access (UMA) through heterogeneous networks by a multitude of devices In a seamless way. Although many adaptation techniques exist, selections of appropriate adaptations among multiple choices that would satisfy given constraints are often ad hoc. To provide a systematic solution, we present a general conceptual framework to model video entity, adaptation, resource, utility, and relations among them. It allows for formulation of various adaptation problems as resource-constrained utility maximization. We apply the framework to a practical case of dynamic bit rate adaptation of MPEG-4 video streams by employing combination of frame dropping and DCT coefficient dropping. Furthermore, we present a descriptor, which has been accepted as a part of MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaptation (DIA), for supporting terminal and network quality of service (QoS) in an interoperable manner. Experiments are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the presented framework using the descriptor.
