“…Then, the streaming media sever delivers continuous, real-time transmission to the client computer. In this system, users do'not have to wait until the entire file is downloaded, and just after the start-up delay of a few seconds or tens of seconds, you can use the computer to play and watch the programs [7]. Streaming media transfer protocol.…”

Video on Demand system is also known as interactive television-on-demand system. It is a two-way audio and video-on-demand system and realizes to play video program according to the user’s needs, which is based on the new concept of “user independent”. This paper briefly introduces the concept of video-on-demand system, streaming media transmission protocol, JMF features and structure and describes the overall structure and function of each part of the on-demand system.

“…Server-based multimedia computing performs all computations through a set of servers [3][4] [5], which is restricted by deployment costs and the pressure of the backbone network. Content Delivery Network (CDN) pushes multimedia content to the edge, thereby effectively reducing communication overhead [6][7] [8]. However, CDN technology still faces challenges in scalability and QoS provisioning, and CDN edge servers do not have computational capabilities.…”

Multimedia computing has attracted considerable attention with the rapid growth in the development and application of multimedia technology. Current studies have attempted to support the increasing resource consumption and computational overhead caused by multimedia computing. In this paper, we propose MediaCloud, a new multimedia computing paradigm that integrates the concept of cloud computing in handling multimedia applications and services effectively and efficiently. MediaCloud faces the following key challenges: heterogeneity, scalability, and multimedia Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning. To address the challenges above, first, a layered architecture of MediaCloud, which can provide scalable multimedia services, is presented. Then, MediaCloud technologies by which users can access multimedia services from different terminals anytime and anywhere with QoS provisioning are introduced. Finally, MediaCloud implementation and applications are presented, and media retrieval and delivery are adopted as case studies to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed MediaCloud design.

“…Among new Internet-based added-value collaborative multimedia services, CNs can effectively support collaborative media streaming services [3] ranging from collaborative content creation to collaborative media streaming delivery and control. In particular, from the content delivery point of view, CNs can offer the collaborative playback service [5] which allows an explicitlyformed group of clients to request, watch and control a streamed multimedia session in a shared way. A prototypical CN-based collaborative playback system (CPS) is the COMODIN (Cooperative Media On-Demand on the InterNet) system [6] which improves upon MBone-based CPSs (such as MVoD [7], ViCRO C [4], MARS [14]) and efficiently provides collaborative playbacks on the current Internet infrastructure.…”

Collaborative playbacks systems (CPSs) are media on-demand systems that allow a tightly coupled group of remote clients to jointly request, watch and control a streamed multimedia session (or media playback). Although it is a requirement that the view of the media playback is to be synchronized among the clients of the group, currently the available CPSs are only based on best-effort media playback synchronization. This paper proposes a protocol, K-Sync, for the synchronization of collaborative playbacks provided by content delivery networks (CDNs) . In particular, KSync is based on a CDN-driven approach which uses the estimates of the latencies between CDN servers and clients to opportunely delay the transmission of media streams from CDN servers to clients so as to provide the synchronization of the playback view. K-Sync is designed through a variant of the Extended Finite State Machines (EFSM), an effective formalism for modeling distributed multimedia systems. A prototypal Javabased implementation of K-Sync was carried out and validated on a local testbed.
