With the widespread use of smartphones and IoT (Internet of Things), data are being generated on a large scale, and there is increased for the analysis of such data. Hence, distributed processing systems have gained much attention. Hadoop, which is a distributed processing system, saves the metadata of stored files in name nodes; in this case, the main problems are as follows: the memory becomes insufficient; load occurs because of massive small files; scheduling and file processing time increases because of the increased number of small files. In this paper, we propose a solution to address the increase in processing time because of massive small files, and thus improve the processing performance, using the Reuse JVM method provided by Hadoop. Through environment setting, the Reuse JVM method modifies the JVM produced conventionally for every task, so that multiple tasks are reused sequentially in one JVM. As a final outcome, the Reuse JVM method showed the best processing performance when used together with CombineFileInputFormat.

The need for content-based retrieval from visual media, such as image and video data, is ever increasing rapidly in many applications, such as electronic art museums, internet shopping malls, internet search engines, and medical information systems. In our previous research, we proposed an architecture, called the HERMES, which is a Web Service-enabled visual media retrieval framework. In this paper, we propose the Web Service workflows that are employed in the HERMES. We describe how we designed the workflows for service registration and query processing in the framework. We especially explain how metadata and ontology can be utilized to realize more intelligent content-based retrieval on visual media data.

eLearning can be defined as an approach to teaching and teaming that utilises Internet technologies to communicate and collaborate in an educational context. This includes technology that supplements traditional classroom training with web-based components and learning environments where the educational process is experienced online. The use of hypertext as an educational tool has a very rich history. The advent of the internet and one of its major application, the world wide web (WWW), has given a tremendous boost to the theory and practice of hypermedia systems for educational purposes. However, the web suffers from an inability to satisfy the heterogeneous needs of a large number of users. For example, web-based courses present the same static teaming material to students with widely differing knowledge of the subject. Adaptive hypermedia techniques can be used to improve the adaptability of eLearning. In this paper we report an approach to the design a unified implementation framework suitable for web-based eLearning that accommodates the three main dimensions of hypermedia adaptation: content, navigation, and presentation. The framework externalises the adaptation strategies using XML notation. The separation of the adaptation strategies from the source code of the eLearning software enables a system using the framework to quickly implement a variety of adaptation strategies. This work is a part of our more general ongoing work on the design of a framework for adaptive content delivery. parts of the framework discussed in this paper have been imulemented in a commercial eLearning engine.

A virtual machine is a conceptual computer with a logical system configuration, made of software unlike physical systems made of hardware. Virtual machine technology for embedded systems is a requisite software technology for download solutions such as mobile devices, digital TVs, etc. At present, a research of virtual machines for embedded systems named EVM(Embedded Virtual Machine) is in progress. As a part of the research, we define the EFF(Executable File Format) as a file format for embedded systems. We also prove completeness of EFF by structurally mapping class file widely used to EFF.

Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) is the mobile TV service based on a digital radio transmission system that provides high quality audio/video and other auxiliary data services. As users want to store the DMB content in their device to be consumed later or to be shared among users, a standardized format needs to be specified to guarantee the interoperability for the DMB contents for various devices. DMB AF (Application Format) specification defines a file format for DMB contents and services. It specifies how to combine the variety of DMB contents with associated information for a presentation in a well-defined format that facilitates storage, interchange, management, editing, and presentation of the DMB contents in protected, governed, and interoperable ways. In this paper we present our implementation of DMB AF as part of the development of DMB AF reference software. Our implementation of DMB AF is developed as the reference software for the standard specification that consists of a three applications: packager, media player, metadata browser and collection of supporting libraries used by the applications.

As multimedia application services on high-speed information network have been rapidly developed, the need for the video information management system that provides an efficient way for users to retrieve video data is growing. In this paper, we propose a video data model that integrates free annotations, image features, and spatial-temporal features for video purpose of improving content-based retrieval of video data. The proposed video data model can act as a generic video data model for multimedia applications, and support free annotations, image features, spatial-temporal features, and structure information of video data within the same framework. We also propose the video query language for efficiently providing query specification to access video clips in the video data. It can formalize various kinds of queries based on the video contents. Finally we design and implement the query processing engine for efficient video data retrieval on the proposed metadata model and the proposed video query language.

The Music Player MAF Player Format of ISO/IEC 23000-2 FDIS consists of MP3 data, MPEG-7 metadata and one optional JPEG image data based on MPEG-4 File Format. However, the current Music Player MAF format does not allow multiple JPEG image data or timed text data. It is helpful to use timed text data and multiple JPEG images in the various multimedia applications. For example, listening material for the foreign language needs an additional book which has text and images, the audio contents which can get image and text data can be helpful to understand the whole story and situations well. In this paper, we propose the detailed file structure in conjunction with MPEG-4 File Format in order to improve the functionalities, which carry multiple image data and text data with synchronization information between MP3 data and other resources.

This paper presents a user preference description for graphics contents that is developed in the process of the MPEG-21 DIA(Digital Item Adaptation) standard. The description scheme in this paper is proposed by the authors and adopted in the current AM (Adaptation Model) document of the MPEG-21 DIA. The goal of MPEG-21 standard is providing a multimedia framework that Provides augmented and transparent use of digital contents across various networks and terminals fur the life cycle of digital contents. DI (Digital Item) is a standardized basic unit of digital contents for transaction in the scope of MPEG-21. DIA contains both media resources and metadata including rights information.

인터넷의 발달로 네트워크를 통한 멀티미디어 데이터 서비스가 늘어나면서 유료 콘텐츠에 대한 저작권 관리와 보호 및 다양한 이기종의 단말 장치에 적합한 콘텐츠 적응(adaptation) 서비스에 대한 필요성이 높아지고 있다. 이를 위하여 현재까지 DRM, Scalable Coding, Progressive Encryption, ISMA, ARMS, Metadata Adaptation 등 다양한 연구가 진행되어 왔지만 요구사항을 포괄적으로 만족하는 멀티미디어 전송 프레임워크는 부재한 상태이다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 기존 기법을 분석하고 기능을 통합하여 안전하고 보다 여러 종류의 단말 장치에 서비스가 가능하며 다양한 서비스 형태를 가질 수 있는 프레임워크를 설계하였다. 이를 통해 멀티미디어 서비스가 보다 광범위하게 활용되고 확산 될 수 있으리라 기대된다.

멀티미디어 컨텐츠의 지능형 선택/검색 시스템(MISS: Multimedia Content Intelligent Selection/search) 는 콘텐츠를 공급하는 서버에 다량의 멀티미디어 컨텐츠들이 존재하며, 이 컨텐츠 중에서 원하는 것을 검색, 선택하는 시스템이다. 지능적 검색, 선택기능을 갖는 MISS 시스템은 인터넷 및 네트워크상에 연결된 시스템들간의 맞춤형 서비스 구현에 필요한 핵심이며, 모든 종류의 멀티미디어 콘텐츠에 적용 가능하다. 현재 WWW 서비스경우는 정보를 찾기 위하여 웹상에서 문서를 찾아주는 텍스트 기반 정보검색기술이 사용되고 있는데, 점점 우리가 접하는 정보의 형태는 텍스트와 함께 화상, 음성, 동영상 등의 멀티미디어화 및 디지털화하고 있다. 사용자들에게는 멀티미디어 데이터를 효과적으로 찾아야 하는 필요성이 증가하고 이에 따라 방대한 양의 분산된 멀티미디어 데이터를 처리할 수 있는 색인 및 검색 도구의 요구가 커지게 되었다. MISS 시스템은 WWW 서비스의 요구에도 적용될 수 있다. MISS 시스템은 다량의 동영상 콘텐츠 중에서 특정 배우, 감독등의 여러 가지 검색 조건으로 콘텐츠를 검색/선택할 수 있고, 하나의 동영상 콘텐츠 내에서 특정Video Segment를 검색할 수 있다. 본 MISS 시스템은 동영상에 대한 Search/Query를 위한DS 구조로써 MPEG-7의 User preference metadata를 이용하였다.
