“…Using concurrency to achieve synchronization in multimedia systems is not specific to PREMO. Other models and systems have taken a similar approach (see, for example, [4,7,12,20,23]) and PREMO, whose task is to provide a synthesis for standardization, has obviously been influenced by these models.…”

This paper describes an event-based synchronization mechanism, which is at the core of the inter-media synchronization in the upcoming standard for multimedia presentation, PREMO. The synchronization mechanism of PREMO is a powerful tool, based on a small number of concepts, and on cooperation among active objects, and represents a synthesis of various synchronization models described in the literature. This model can serve as a basis for the implementation of complex synchronization patterns in multimedia presentations, both purely event-based, as well as time-based.

“…Clocks are a common feature for interpreting time-dependent data, and some approaches work with a set of clocks organized in clock hierarchies (Dannenberg et al 1992;Rothermel and Helbig 1994). Similar to the approach of de Mey and Gibbs (1993), a media time system called stepper and a world time system called ticker are used to interpret Sequences (Fig.…”

Abstract. Time-dependent data, defined by the attributes start time and duration can describe continuous media. A short theoretical analysis of sets of time-dependent data forms the first part of this paper. The results are three normal forms of continuous media data. In the second part, a data model for continuous media called Sequence is defined according to the theory presented. Not only does this model implement the data structure, it also inculdes operations that apply generally to continuous media data. The third part of the paper is a short overview showing how to integrate time-dependent data as Sequences into database systems.

“…Tactus [9] is based on the ACME model, adding a user interface toolkit, the components of which embody control of data presentation and synchronisation. It does not consider interaction management as an integral system task.…”

Abstract. In this paper we present IMP, a platform to support the authoring and run-time management of interactive multimedia applications in distributed environments. The multi-level platform model encourages 'slot-in' extensibility to cater for the evolving environment. We illustrate with our prototype platform built above the Cambridge multimedia environment. The authoring model emphasises reusability, tailorability and use of environment features in a uniform way. We have shown the validity of our approach by constructing a variety of application types.
