In this paper, we introduce our experience for designing and implementing a media manager in the Integrated Streaming Service Architecture (ISSA) developed by the authors. The media manager is regarded as a necessary module in the ISSA framework for the following reasons. It realizes that from which locations of the media source devices, the media streams are coming. Once it knows where the origin is, the media manager should recognizes what types of stream are. After that, it performs how to chose an appropriate CODEC to handle the recognized input streams efficiently, and what type of media playback device should be selected. In order to do such a job efficiently, the proposed media manager consists of two modules source module and sink module. The major role of a media source module is to make an abstraction for the media streams that are coming from various types of media device. This, in consequence, enables a media manager to consistently handle tlle media streams without considering wherever they come from. On the other hand, the media sink module distributes the input streams to an appropriate media device to playback. One of the remarkable virtues of the proposed media manager is an ability to supporting high value-added database services since it provides an interface between the ISSA and real-time multimedia database. Also, it provides the RTP!RTSP source filter and Winamp gateway modules which allow the flexibility to the system. Moreover, the media manager can adopt any types of new media which in fact will provide scalability to the ISSA.

These days effective science education programs are required for girls to encourage them to pursue their career in science and engineering areas. This paper presents the preliminary results of an analysis performed to measure the effectiveness of a middle school education program, in which a science fiction movie as a multimedia educational material is shown to students and afterward discussion and review process for the scientific subjects included in the movie are given to them. The analysis is based on a study of students' responses on surveys performed after showing the science fiction movies during a science camp and a regular school class. The survey results of female students are compared with those of male students. The results indicate that the education program using science fiction movies could be more effective to female students than to male students in motivating and enhancing their interest in scientific subjects. A preliminary guide and afterward review and discussion on the scientific contents dealt in the movie turned out to be helpful to enhance the effectiveness of this science education program.

In multimedia database system, it is very important issue how to query multimedia data and present the result of query. Also, in order to reuse the query result in other applications, multimedia database system must be considered to provide the query result which is more generalized form. In this paper, I propose a presentation model for presenting query result in multimedia database system and MMSQL based on the developed model for processing multimedia database query. This paper includes the design and implementation of MMSQL query processor. MMSQL query processor provides the presentation of query result which is SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) document. Therefore, MMSQL query result in this paper can be use to variant multimedia applications.

Since multimedia content is often independently encoded into multiple variations having diverse bandwidths, resolutions and compression formats, the same segment might be stored at different temporal positions within the variations. In this paper, we present a durable multimedia bookmark mechanism which provides a convenient way of switching to any variation before or during playback of the multimedia content, without experiencing temporal discontinuity or overlapping a portion of the content. We also present a new multimedia bookmark player with which users can manage a personal collection of bookmarks with an intuitive visual interface.

본 연구는 멀티미디어를 활용한 웹 기반 코스웨어의 개발로서 첫째, 7차 교육 과정 9학년 과학 교과의 '생식과 발생' 단원을 선정하여 기된 과정의 내용을 철저히 분석하고 심화ㆍ보충 과정과 관련된 자료를 추출하였으며, 둘째, 멀티미디어 기반의 코스웨어가 구동될 수 있는 서버 환경을 구축하였고, 세째 멀티미디어 기반의 웹 코스웨어를 제작하고 구현하였다. 네째. 구현된 코스웨어를 교실 환경에 투입하고 교사와 학생의 반응을 조사하는 순으로 수행하였다. 코스웨어 설계의 기본 방향은 기된 과정의 학습 내용을 학습자 중심의 학습이 되도록 주제별로 적절히 재구성하고 심화ㆍ보충 과정에 해당하는 부분의 내용을 추출하여 학습자가 학습 동기를 향상시킬 수 있는 다양한 멀티미디어 컨텐츠를 학습자와의 상호작용을 할 수 있도록 CGI를 활용하여 구현하였다. 코스웨어의 기본 구조는 기본학습(내용 항목), 학습평가, 학습 자료실, 보충 학습, 심화 학습, 교과서를 넘어서, 유용한 사이트 등으로 구성이 되어 있다. 교사용 검사지는 주로 일반 사항, 수업 설계 측면에서 추출하여 사용하였고, 학생용 검사지는 일반 사항과 기술적 측면에서 추출하여 사용하였다. 설문지 조사 결과 대부분의 항목에서 보통이상의 점수를 얻음으로써 개발된 코스웨어의 필요성 및 유용성이 입증이 되었고 앞으로도 더 많은 멀티미디어를 포함한 웹 기반의 코스웨어가 개발되어 학교 현장에 투임 되어야 한다는 것을 시사한다.

The OTT service that provides multimedia video has spread over the Internet for terminals with a variety of resolutions. The terminals are in communication via a networks such as 3G, LTE, VDSL, ADSL. The service of the network has been increased for a variety of terminals giving rise to the need for a new way of encoding multimedia is increasing. SVC is an encoding technique optimized for OTT services. We proposed an efficient multimedia management system for the SVC encoded multimedia data. The I/O trace was generated using a zipf distribution, and were comparatively evaluated for performance with the existing system.

Mobile WiMAX does not guarantee the media qualities because it does not consider the characteristics of video coding techniques. In this paper, PC-MCA(Priority-based Combining adaptive Modulation and Coding with ARQ), a priority based channel-adaptive streaming scheme, is proposed to guarantee media qualities. PC-MCA uses QoS scheduler by scheduling priority of the media and differentially controls modulation and coding schemes according to wireless channel condition and frame priorities. It also guarantees multimedia service quality through video decoding reliability.

This study investigated the relationships between hypermedia users information processing styles and navigational patterns. Three aspects of navigational patterns were investigated: (a) navigational breadth patterns which reveal how comprehensively users access, (b) navigational path patterns which display what sequences users follow. and (c) navigational method patterns which show what methods u users employ when using the system. Information processing styles were measured by the Human Information Processing Styles(HIPS) Survey. The subjects were 102 undergraduate students enrolled in management courses at a university. Participation was voluntary 34 students were selected for each of left, right, and integrated information processor group. The subjects interacted with A.g.i.l.e. TrainerTM program to complete two types of searching tasks 'open-ended and closed-ended tasks' Findings indicated that the information processing style seems to play an important role in how an individual interacts with the hypermedia systems.

Web streaming environment need a suitable video playback service technique, a streaming technique for real-time delivery and an efficient control technique due to its limited environment. In this paper, we propose an effective control technique for real-time media stream playback as a connection technique between the high-quality media player and web browser based on Linux environment. The proposed stream control technique presents control data through 050 on media playback screen of web browser, and process the user's input data. It acts GUI-independently, and is designed considering addition and extension for control data.

In this paper, we describe the developing of a tool which supports both multimedia presentation with user's participation through a high speed network and authoring of various media using a single authoring tool. To support real-time synchronous multimedia presentation, we adopt dynamic synchronization method and adaptive transmission algorithm for synchronizing data transfer rate between sender and receiver using buffer management algorithm based on QoS parameters. And we also allow user's participation in the presentation using TRSG(Temporal Relationship Specification Graph) model. Finally, the proposed tool supports the minimal level of QoS and its continuous play-out using event auditing threads which control the current state of a multimedia presentation continuously by monitoring of negative factors effecting on QoS, and synchronization.
