“…High resolution video immersive media services have been studied by NHK in their Super Hi-Vision 8k developments [2]. In the international organization CineGrid.org [3], 4k video for display in large theaters plays a central role. At Fraunhofer HHI, a 6k multicamera system, called the OmniCam, and an associated panoramic projection system was recently developed [1].…”

The media industry is currently being pulled in the often-opposing\ud directions of increased realism (high resolution, stereoscopic,\ud large screen) and personalization (selection and control of\ud content, availability on many devices). We investigate the\ud feasibility of an end-to-end format-agnostic approach to support\ud both these trends. In this paper, different aspects of a format-\ud agnostic capture, production, delivery and rendering system are\ud discussed. At the capture stage, the concept of layered scene\ud representation is introduced, including panoramic video and 3D\ud audio capture. At the analysis stage, a virtual director component\ud is discussed that allows for automatic execution of\ud cinematographic principles, using feature tracking and saliency\ud detection. At the delivery stage, resolution-independent\ud audiovisual transport mechanisms for both managed and\ud unmanaged networks are treated. In the rendering stage, a\ud rendering process that includes the manipulation of audiovisual\ud content to match the connected display and loudspeaker properties\ud is introduced. Different parts of the complete system are revisited\ud demonstrating the requirements and the potential of this advanced\ud concept.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

This paper describes our approach to modeling computing infrastructures. Our main contribution is the Infrastructure and Network Description Language (INDL) ontology. The aim of INDL is to provide technology independent descriptions of computing infrastructures, including the physical resources as well as their network infrastructure. INDL also provides the necessary vocabulary to describe virtualization of resources and the services offered by these resources. We build our infrastructure model upon the Network Markup Language (NML). Although INDL is a stand-alone model, it can be easily connected with the NML model. In this paper we show how INDL and NML are used as a basis for models used in three different applications: the CineGrid infrastructure, the Logical Infrastructure Composition Layer in the GEYSERS EU-FP7 project and the NOVI federation platform. Furthermore, we show the use of INDL for monitoring energy aspects of computing infrastructures and its application for workflow planning on computing infrastructures.

“…The idea to extend the Semantic Web-based approach used in NDL for networks to generic ICT infrastructures came within the Cinegrid project [17], [18]. Also in CineGrid exchangeable descriptions for the supporting devices are the basis to run applications across domains.…”

Abstract-This paper describes the Infrastructure and Network Description Language (INDL). The aim of INDL is to provide technology independent descriptions of computing infrastructures. These descriptions include the physical resources and the network infrastructure that connects these resources. The description language also provides the necessary vocabulary to describe virtualization of resources and the services offered by these resources. Furthermore, the language can be easily extended to describe federation of different existing computing infrastructures, specific types of (optical) equipment and also behavioral aspects of resources, for example, their energy consumption.Before we introduce INDL we first discuss a number of modeling efforts that have lead to the development of INDL, namely the Network Description Language, the Network Markup Language and the CineGrid Description Language. We also show current applications of INDL in two EU-FP7 projects: NOVI and GEYSERS. We demonstrate the flexibility and extensibility of INDL to cater the specific needs of these two projects.
