Streaming media technology just appears to solute the question that multimedia transport on narrowband. Streaming media has the advantage of playing with transporting and small size, so it can be stored easily and has normal playing effect in ...

This paper describes a web-based narrative system able to generate video compilations, framed as event stories, from a shared repository of video recordings of the event itself and possibly of related events. For this, it employs narrative techniques ...

There is a growing gap between the multimedia production and the context centric multimedia services related to the under-exploitation of the content creation design. This could support dynamic content generation adapted to the user or display profile. ...

Hypervideos are multimedia files, which differ from traditional video files in that they can be navigated by using links that are embedded in them. Students can therefore easily access content that explains and clarifies certain points of the lectures ...

This paper aims to develop a generic temporal data model and to design the relevant mining for multimedia applications. We develop a data model as efficient computation model to unify time-varying events and objects. Several computation algorithms and ...

Multimedia documents have to be played on multiple device types. Hence, usage and platform diversity requires document adaptation according to execution contexts, not generally predictable at design time. In an earlier work, a semantic framework for ...

In this paper, we consider the problem of automatic verification of SMIL documents and present a tool which can assist the user in the complex task of authoring a multimedia presentation. The tool is based on a formal semantics defining the temporal ...

We propose in this paper a context-aware adaptation technique for SMIL encoded multimedia documents. Our approach is mainly dedicated to run in compile-time but we discuss also how it can be used in runtime. Our algorithm aims at improving the execution ...

We present in this article a temporal SMIL editor with incremental verification capabilities, based on a formal Petri Net--based model. Our authoring tool, named SMIL Builder, allows the author to “build” his document step by step, while insuring at ...

This paper presents a relay recording model for supporting user's recording at random from DTV live broadcast channels for IPTV nPVR services. Based on the recorded files, SMIL annotation is used to playback a recording in a segmentation fashion for ...

Video indexing is an important process in video content management systems. In this paper, we extend our previous work by presenting a new web-based indexing environment for medical videos. The proposed system provides two ways to describe a video ...

In this paper we introduce the design and implementation of seamless playback for video/audio in the Ambulant Player. The Ambulant Open SMIL Player is an open-source media player that supports SMIL 3.0. A typical SMIL multimedia presentation consists of ...

E-learning content material can be classified as text and multimedia. A common practice is to use text as backbone and multimedia as components to enrich the otherwise text-and-still-images-only documents. Nowadays e-learning content delivery over ...

This paper deals with the challenge of session recording, with special reference to multimedia conferences, both centralized and distributed. Standardization efforts related to both multimedia conferencing and session recording are presented in the ...

E-learning content delivery through the Internet is nowadays a very active topic in academy, industry and research. Common tools used in presential learning are not adequate in the new context then new tools are required in order to produce, manage and ...

This chapter presents a proposal to solve the problem of the adaptation of multimedia services in mobile contexts. The chapter combines context-awareness techniques with user interface modeling to dynamically adapt telecommunications services to user ...

The diversity of presentation contexts for multimedia documents requires the adaptation of document specifications. In an earlier work, we have proposed a semantic adaptation framework for multimedia documents. This framework captures the semantics of ...

In this paper we describe the design and implementation of a framework for declarative XML languages - SMPL. The framework is intended to support the semantic structure, annotation and control of SMIL documents. SMPL is supported by all browsers de-...

This paper proposes a personal learning assistant called LORAMS (Link of RFID and Movies System), which supports the learners with a system to share and reuse learning experience by linking movies and environmental objects. These movies are not only ...

In this paper we examine adaptive time-based web applications (or presentations). These are interactive presentations where time dictates which parts of the application are presented (providing the major structuring paradigm), and that require ...
