A cross-media adaptation strategy for multimedia presentations

MINI: Making MIDI Fit for Real-Time Musical Interaction over the Internet

“…2 The design goals of this software were clear: it had to be a fun tool which enables musicians to jam together over the Internet, and it had to have all the features that would allow its users to fully exploit the capabilities of MINI. Netmusic consists of code which is written in C (the core components, for efficiency reasons) and Java (the user interface), was designed for Linux and tested with a Fedora Core 4 system with kernel version 2.6.17.1-2142.…”

“…One way to handle the discrepancy between the dynamic network and its not-so-dynamic user is to give the user the choice, i.e. let the user switch between quality levels; this was successfully done by the authors of [2], and it is the strategy that we have foreseen for MINI.…”

Context aware guidance for multimedia authoring: harmonizing domain and discourse knowledge

“…Research into the automated generation of multimedia presentations has resulted in a number of knowledge-based systems that are able to generate multimedia presentations with minimal or no human intervention. Some of these systems focus on innovative presentation techniques [2,6,7,18,45] that facilitate the synthesis of multimedia documents and plan how to present this material to various users. These approaches are insightful as they model the authoring process from a planning point of view but they are not sufficient for the authoring processes described in Section 2 as their top-down planning approach is too limited for scenarios where neither the individual user requirements nor the requested material can be predicted in advance.…”

NAC, une architecture pour l'adaptation multimédia sur le web

“…L'approche de ZYX consiste à rendre cet ensemble d'attributs extensible et permet ainsi de prendre en charge un contexte riche et une gamme étendue de clients (Boll et al, 1999b). Tirant parti des avantages de SMIL 2.0 et de AHM, ZYX propose une modélisation statique des alternatives de présentation.…”
