In the multimedia tele-medical system the medical informations are stored and managed in multimedia database. Also, multimedia DBMS is essential in order to manage large scale medical informations, and the remote access function is necessary for the distributed processing at all around the hospital. For the multimedia tele-medical information that is composed of image/picture, data, video, and audio, a high-speed telecommunication network is necessary that can provide separated connections for each medical information type with different QoS. The commercial DBMSs are based on the TCP/IP socket API(Application Programming Interface) that does not provide multiple QoS. Also, each commercial DBMS has its own API that is incompatible with other DBMS. In this paper, we propose a multimedia DBMS agent for the remote access of the multimedia database in the tele-medical system. The proposed multimedia DBMS agent is based on the ATM API that can provide high-speed data transfer capability and multiple QoS connections. Also, the proposed multimedia DBMS agent is independent of the commercial DBMS. We explain the functional architecture of the multimedia DBMS agent, implementation technology on the ATM network environment, and the result of performance analysis.

Currently for the development of internet and network technology, since request of service for the large volume multimedia data has been more increased, multimedia users want the convenience and accuracy of multimedia service system about storing and retrieving of the multimedia contents. To satisfy the request of users, metadata management for the diverse information of multimedia contents is very important. However, the metadata management for the multimedia contents is difficult because the metadata standards are different each other for the type of multimedia data and service. In this paper, we propose the integration metadata management system structure which extends previous metadata management system based on text for the multimedia contents metadata which are expressed differently each other according to the multimedia data or service type.

Recently, explosive popularity of multimedia information has triggered the need for retrieving multimedia contents efficiently from the database including audio, video and images. In this paper, we propose an XML-based retrieval scheme and a data model that complement the weak aspects of annotation and conent based retrieval methods. The Property and hierarchy structure of image and video data are represented and manipulated based on the Multimedia Description Schema (MDS) that conforms to the MPEG-7 standard. For audio contents, pitch contours extracted from their acoustic features are converted into UDR string. Especially, to improve the retrieval performance, user's access pattern and frequency are utilized in the construction of an index. We have implemented a prototype system and evaluated its performance through various experiments.

We discuss the characteristics of authoring tool for the lecture on demand(LOD) in a cyber university. Authoring tool will be one of the important tools for constructing LOD that gives good educational opportunities to students of cyber university. The one of characteristics in authoring tool is“Education”and“Entertainment”. The LOD system constructed with authoring tool will be impact on multimedia telecommunication, technology for constructing and searching multimedia database, GroupWare and distributing technology, etc.

Embedded database systems (EDBMS) based on NAND flash memories are widely adopted for logging data on sensor nodes. Since write and erase operations of a flash memory are time consuming compared to read operations and wear memory cells, it is important to reduce these operations to enhance the EDBMS performance and to extend the memory life. In this paper, we propose a delayed write scheme to archive this goal. Proposed scheme stores updated parts of database pages into delayed write records to reduce the database page writes. By doing that, it decreases write and erase operations on a flash memory. Therefore, the proposed scheme enhances the logging performance of a write-intensive EDBMS on a sensor node and extends the flash memory life.

Relational databases have a notion of normalization, in which the model for storing data is standardized according to the organization's business processes or data operations. However, the graph database is relatively early in this standardization and has a high degree of freedom in modeling. Therefore various models can be created with the same data, depending on the database designers. The essences of the graph database are two aspects. First, the graph database allows accessing relationships between the objects semantically. Second, it makes relationships between entities as important as individual data. Thus increasing the degree of freedom in modeling and providing the modeling developers with a more creative system. This paper introduces different graph models with test data. It compares the query performances by the results of response speeds to the query executions per graph model to find out how the efficiency of each model can be maximized.

This paper describes design and implementation of a content manager in the Integrated Steaming Framework Architecture (ISSA) that is proposed by the authors. The ISSA can provide an environment to develop multimedia streaming applications under heterogeneous distributed systems. The goal of ISSA is to extend the limitations of existing streaming systems. It can support diverse media formats and high level programming environment for streaming application developers. Moreover, it is independent from underlying networks and operating systems, and compatible with the global real-time multimedia database system(BeeHive) so that streaming media is efficiently retrieved, stored, and serviced. The role of a content manager is important in the ISSA environment since it manages an information of media that are provided by the server, and allow users to access media more easily by means of conveying that information to the streaming server, Web server, and client efficiently. The proposed content manager is not only to meed these requirements, but also to provide streaming information to media source and transport manager in order to be an efficient streaming. Furthermore, it supports database transaction processing by using the database connector.

To transmit users' intentions that vary with each person, intuitive and hi-directional interactions between users and a computer are necessary. We considered these interactions by dividing them into two spaces, physical space and informational space. Informational space supports human thinking process by arranging and visualizing much information. Physical space reproduces the real world where various restrictions exist to virtual space. From the viewpoint of three aspects - contents model, kansei model and context model - we defined the style of the interaction between user and multimedia database. In this paper, for the purpose of examining the way to realize the interaction based on these models, we developed interior design coordination support system and garden coordination system, and then evaluated them.

Engineering design applications require the support of long transactions in cooperative environments. The problem of the existing copy/update/merge approaches is that the partial effects of a committed transaction may be not part of the merged version. This paper introduces a new cooperative transaction model, which allows updates to be progressively notified or propagated into other transactions accessing the same object. To support incremental update propagation and notification, we use the term dynamic dependency to define the intertransaction dependency relationships among all the objects checked out from the public database. Consistency in multiple copies of the same object is achieved by a two-phase delta-merge protocol. Our model provides a synchronization of cooperative updates performed in several workspaces without using locking mechanisms.

This paper presents the Multiple Keyword Retrieval Method under the Object-Oriented Multimedia Database Model. The multiple keyword registration and retrieval algorithms are developed to reduce the partial matching problem in multimedia data retrieval. For this, proper storage structures of the lookup tables are designed. And also, in order to maintain the constant retrieval time, media data files are organized with B+ tree structure.
