Coupled schemes between service-oriented architecture (SOA) and Web 2.0 have recently been researched. Webbased content providers and telecommunications company (Telecom) based Internet protocol television (IPTV) providers have struggled against each other to accommodate more three-screen service subscribers. Since the advent of Web 2.0, more abundant reproduced content can be circulated. However, because according to increasing device's resolution and content formats IPTV providers transcode content in advance, network bandwidth, storage and operation costs for content management systems (CMSs) are wasted. In this paper, we present a user centric CMS for open IPTV, which integrates SOA and Web 2.0. Considering content popularity based on a Zipf-like distribution to solve these problems, we analyze the performance between the user centric CMS and the conventional Web syndication system for normalized costs. Based on the user centric CMS, we implement a social Web TV with device-aware function, which can aggregate, transcode, and deploy content over social networking service independently. Index Terms: Open internet protocol television (IPTV), social WebTV, three-screen service, user centric content management system, Zipf-like distribution.

“…A number of efforts in this domain focus on resolving the time asynchrony issue (i.e., users watching the same TV show at divergent times). Example systems in this category include neXtream [5] and Col-laboraTV [6]. Other systems are primarily concerned with addressing the issues introduced by geographical dispersion (i.e., concurrent TV viewers that are separated by location).…”

Real-time social interaction possibilities are increasingly disappearing from the media consumption process. A decisive contributing factor to this tendency is growing user location disparity. This paper proposes synchronous MediaSharing (sMS), a distributed, purely web-based framework consisting of APIs plus a back-end that enables geographically separated persons to socially consume multimedia content in a synchronized fashion. The sMS service currently resides in a proof-of-concept stage, awaiting qualitative evaluation by means of user experience research methods, yet its underlying network infrastructure as well as the majority of its principal functional components have already been designed, implemented and evaluated. A chief innovation of the system is that its exclusive reliance on open web standards warrants cross-platform support and unlocks seamless content synchronization across the physical and virtual worlds. We outline our vision for the sMS service, motivate the need for such a system, discuss its current implementation, present tentative practical results that confirm the feasibility and validity of our design, and overview the sMS feature roadmap. The sMS functionality has apparent utility in education, training and professional settings, but also in the field of entertainment and the recreational market.

“…Using the model put forth by neXtream [13], Newstream uses a top-down aggregation model, initially looking at the largest communities (e.g., YouTube, Google News), filtered by specific userdefined communities, social networks, and ultimately individual user preferences ( Figure 1). This aggregation model replaces the role of the traditional content curators with online communities.…”

News content extends well beyond the scope of a single medium: video, audio, text, interactive experiences, and social sharing all contribute to an individual's understanding and experience of content. While some content that exists across media can supplement other forms, such as an interactive feature accompanying a text-based article, other content might replicate information and therefore be redundant to a consumer. This paper introduces Newstream, a novel approach to navigating news-based content across a variety of media sources. Building off of prior work, neXtream, Newstream can craft specialized experiences that both facilitate common dialogs within social networks and allow users to dynamically move across various mediums, controlling levels of depth based on interest while avoiding repetition. Newstream integrates multiple devices and networks to maintain unified back-end knowledge about each user.
