Multimedia information systems are distinct from traditional
information systems, particularly in terms of scheduling, media
data, servers, and a number of other important issues. The
relatively large size of multimedia data and the high bandwidth
requirements for multimedia streams require new storage systems,
buffering, delivery, and networking schemes. This work addresses
many of these issues by focusing on the following: Disk scheduling
and storage hierarchy, Configuration of multimedia servers and
buffer management, Delivery scheduling for multimedia streams,
Supporting user interactions, Document modeling and temporal
modeling of multimedia data, and Integrated multimedia information
system. Chapters in this book have been written by well-known and
leading researchers in the field. The material is original and
includes the most recent research results on topics such as data
retrieval from disks, server architecture, buffering,
synchronization, and supporting user interactions. The material has
been closely edited to form a uniform and cohesive compilation.
Multimedia Information Storage and Management can be used for
students studying multimedia information and applications. This
work will also be of special interest to researchers and developers
of multimedia software and hardware systems, network protocol
designers, and multimedia tool designers.
Multimedia information systems are quite different from traditional
information systems, especially in data types, modeling, delivery,
and user interface. The large size of multimedia data and the high
bandwidth requirement of multime dia streams require new storage,
buffering, delivery, and networking schemes. The presentational
nature of multimedia applications requires a proper syn
chronization between multimedia streams, and the composition of
multimedia documents in the distributed environment should overcome
the heterogeneity of underlying systems. This book is edited for
undergraduate and graduate students studying mul timedia
information and applications, researchers and developers of various
multimedia software and hardware systems, multimedia tool
developers, user interface designers, and network protocol
designers by including 17 chapters focused on the following major
issues: * Disk scheduling and storage hierarchy. * Configuration of
multimedia servers and buffer management. * Delivery scheduling for
multimedia streams. * Supporting user interactions. Document
modeling and temporal modeling of multimedia data. * * Integrated
multimedia information system.
