A model-driven approach to content repurposing

The multimedia metamodel defines platform-independent multimedia concepts, opening the way for novel approaches to designing content repurposing solutions. Designers can use the metamodel to create content and add metadata to existing content, simplifying content analysis and repurposing. This model-driven approach and proposed design solutions are useful not only for many multimedia designers and researchers, where the model-driven tools can help them create better multimedia interfaces, but also for lecturers and students of multimedia courses. In the latter case, the unified multimedia metamodel offers context for sometimes subtle relationships between multimedia concepts. The metamodel can also facilitate the collaborative creation of broader knowledge about multimedia phenomena. In our future work, we plan to extend the proposed metamodel and include domains from related fields, such as user modeling and intelligent tutoring systems that deal with high-level user models. We are also designing multimodal test environments, reusable multimedia components, and data mining tools for evaluating various aspects of multimedia and multimodal communication.

Considering User Behavior and Multiple QoS Supports in Multimedia Streaming Caching

With the prevalence of video-on-demand (VOD) services as well as the diffusion of various multimedia devices, caching in a multimedia streaming server is becoming increasingly important. However, due to some peculiar characteristics of multimedia objects and user activities in streaming services, design of an efficient caching system becomes a more challenging problem compared to the traditional caching systems. This paper discusses some important issues that are of interest in the domain of multimedia streaming caching and presents a new cache management scheme for multimedia streaming servers. Our new scheme considers different streaming rates of multimedia objects as well as the inter-arrival time between two consecutive requests on an identical object. It also considers user activities in requesting and playing multimedia contents. Trace-driven simulations with real world VOD traces show that the proposed scheme improves the performance of multimedia streaming systems significantly.     

A media taxonomy

This media taxonomy serves both research and development of multimedia applications. Two graduate courses used it successfully, one on multimedia design and another on the research and evaluation of interactive multimedia. It correlates well with previous categorizations of multimedia and helps researchers better understand the impact and value added by an individual medium in a multimedia presentation     

Media Synchronization and QoS Packet Scheduling Algorithms for Wireless Systems

Wireless multimedia synchronization is concerned with distributed multimedia packets such as video, audio, text and graphics being played-out onto the mobile clients via a base station (BS) that services the mobile client with the multimedia packets. Our focus is on improving the Quality of Service (QoS) of the mobile client's on-time-arrival of distributed multimedia packets through network multimedia synchronization. We describe a media synchronization scheme for wireless networks, and we investigate the multimedia packet scheduling algorithms at the base station to accomplish our goal. In this paper, we extend the media synchronization algorithm by investigating four packet scheduling algorithms: First-In-First-Out (FIFO), Highest-Priority-First (PQ), Weighted Fair-Queuing (WFQ) and Round-Robin (RR). We analyze the effect of the four packet scheduling algorithms in terms of multimedia packet delivery time and the delay between concurrent multimedia data streams. We show that the play-out of multimedia units on the mobile clients by the base station plays an important role in enhancing the mobile client's quality of service in terms of intra-stream synchronization and inter-stream synchronization. Our results show that the Round-Robin (RR) packet scheduling algorithm is, by far, the best of the four packet scheduling algorithms in terms of mobile client buffer usage. We analyze the four packet scheduling algorithms and make a correlation between play-out of multimedia packets, by the base station, onto the mobile clients and wireless network multimedia synchronization. We clarify the meaning of buffer usage, buffer overflow, buffer underflow, message complexity and multimedia packet delay in terms of synchronization between distributed multimedia servers, base stations and mobile clients.

Quality-based evaluation of multimedia synchronization protocolsfor distributed multimedia information systems

Distributed, networked multimedia information systems will be a critical component of technology-based information infrastructures in the future. We present an infrastructure for supporting multimedia applications. We discuss various characteristics of multimedia data and the effect of the network on the required quality of presentation for multimedia data. We present a suite of synchronization protocols to support the quality of presentation. The crux of these protocols is the scheduling of multimedia information for synchronized delivery, over broadband networks with limited resources, and is identified as an NP-hard problem. We introduce two parameters which can be used to measure the performance of end-to-end synchronization protocols in a network supporting distributed multimedia applications. We propose and implement several heuristic scheduling algorithms, and compare their performance. We deduce the appropriateness of these algorithms in different types of distributed multimedia environments
