This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the Future Multimedia Networking Workshop, FMN 2009, held in Coimbra, Portugal, in June 2009. This year`s workshop focuses on various aspects of multimedia systems, content networking, and autonomous communication. The 16 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions. Further this year a demonstration session on Future Multimedia Networks was held from which 12 papers were accepted. The papers are organized in topical sections on streaming and voice services in future multimedia networks; wireless & ad hoc networks in autonomic content networking ; group and multiparty services in autonomic content networking, as well as quality in video and internet services.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Multimedia Interactive Protocols and Systems, MIPS 2003, held in Napoli, Italy in November 2003. MIPS continues the form IDMS/PROMS Workshop series. The 34 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 130 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on wireless multimedia systems, communication protocols for multimedia, scheduling, caching, quality of service architectures, novel communication services, middleware, infrastructure, IP telephony, multimedia applications, and encoding.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems, IWSOS 2008, held in Vienna, Austria, December 10-12, 2008. The 20 revised full papers and 13 revised short papers presented were carefully selected from the 70 full and 24 short paper submissions from authors from 33 different countries. The papers are organized in topical sections on peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks as well as resource and service management.
"Content Delivery Networks" enables the readers to understand the basics, to identify the underlying technology, to summarize their knowledge on concepts, ideas, principles and various paradigms which span on broad CDNs areas. Therefore, aspects of CDNs in terms of basics, design process, practice, techniques, performances, platforms, applications, and experimental results have been presented in a proper order. Fundamental methods, initiatives, significant research results, as well as references for further study have also been provided. Comparison of different design and development approaches are described at the appropriate places so that new researchers as well as advanced practitioners ...
Addresses the need for peer-to-peer computing and grid paradigms in delivering efficient service-oriented computing.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services, MMNS 2007, held in the course of the 3rd International Week on Management of Networks and Services, Manweek 2007. The papers presented are organized in topical sections on services and user experience, wireless and cellular networks, monitoring and control, multicast and IPTV as well as resource management.
Content and Content Management are core topics in the IT and broadcast industry. However these terms have not been clearly defined for those learning the field. The topic is complex and users from different industries have different backgrounds and a varied understanding of content issues. Multimedia Content Management helps to clarify the subject area, define problematic issues and establish a universal understanding of content and its management. * Provides clarity in the subject area * Defines potential problems and establishes a universal understanding * Builds an architectural framework upon this account and different aspects of the industry and solutions are reviewed * Comprehensively describes the different users working and accessing content, the applications and workflows Essential reading for students, engineers and technical managers, in the area of data, storage management and multimedia, requiring an overview of this complex topic. The topics discussed will also prove highly insightful for executive managers and media professionals with a technical understanding and broadcast executives in the field.
High-Performance Networks for Multimedia Applications presents the latest research on the services and protocols for networks providing the communication support for distributed multimedia applications. The need for end-to-end QoS for these multimedia applications is raising the stakes for a powerful shaping and scheduling in the network adapter. It is also creating a need for new services at the ATM layer, CBR and VBR being augmented by UBR, ABR and GFR which have to be evaluated in the TCP/IP environment of today and tomorrow. With the pressure of all the new technologies available today, the backbone architecture needs to be revisited and the success of the TCP/IP must not eliminate the p...
Recent years have brought many changes to the world of mass media. The In ternet and mobile communications technology have provided consumers with interactive digital services. Television is catching up with this trend through the digitalization process. Digital television is a hybrid platform combining elements from classical analog television and the Internet, providing modern multimedia services on a familiar platform. In short, digital TV is a gateway to the world of interactive digital media. Digital TV brings consumers into the television service arena and offers them new degrees of freedom. However, as the service and multimedia content types diversify and the services and their conte...
