“…Some control models and schemes for achieving intramedium synchronization and inter-media synchronization have been proposed in [3,8,10,19,25,27]. Little and Ghafoor proposed the Object Composition Petri Net (OCPN) approach for the formal specification and modeling of multimedia composition with respect to the temporal synchronization [19].…”

“…Both of the centralized and distributed synchronization situations can be formally specified. Huang and Lee derived mathematical relationships among the minimum buffer size, the number of pre-deposited media units, transmission/presentation rates, the maximum jitter, and the maximum intra-medium and inter-media asynchrony anomalies, such that quality of presentations (QOPs) for live continuous media presentations can be analyzed [10]. Using Huang and Lee's mathematical analysis, trade-off between QOPs and networking/system resources can be identified.…”

“…Since (i) a multimedia presentation can contain text, graphics, image, audio, and video media that associate with different presentation properties, and (ii) user interactions can be issued randomly and unpredictably, a suitable control architecture and the corresponding control scheme should be derived to process user interactions. The control architecture and the corresponding control scheme should (1) control both intra-medium synchronization and inter-media synchronization to have smooth multimedia presentations [3,8,10,15,19,25,27], and (2) accept user interactions and resolve related issues that result from processing user interactions [4,6,16,17,22,24].…”

The next generation of interactive multimedia documents can contain both static media, e.g., text, graph, image, and continuous media, e.g., audio and video, and can provide user interactions in distributed environments. However, the temporal information of multimedia documents cannot be described using traditional document structures, e.g., Open Document Architecture (ODA) and Standard Generalized Mark-up Language (SGML); the continuous transmission of media units also raises some new synchronization problems, which have not been met before, for processing user interactions. Thus, developing a distributed interactive multimedia document system should resolve the issues of document model, presentation control architecture, and control scheme. In this paper, we (i) propose a new multimedia document model that contains the logical structure, the layout structure, and the temporal structure to formally describe multimedia documents, and (ii) point out main interaction-based synchronization problems, and propose a control architecture and a token-based control scheme to solve these interaction-based synchronization problems. Based on the proposed document model, control architecture, and control scheme, a distributed interactive multimedia document development mechanism, which is called MING-I, is developed on SUN workstations.
