본 논문에서는 다중 사용자 간의 상호 작용과 공동 작업을 가능하게 하는 3차원 그래픽 기반의 가상 현실 시스템인 YVES(Yonsei Virtual Environment System) 의 성능향상을 위한 아바타 객체의 효과적인 동기화 방법에 대하여 제안하였다. YVES 는 연세대학교 컴퓨터과학과 멀티미디어 연구실에서 2001년도에 개발된 시스템이다. YVES의 사용자간 동기화 알고리즘은 기존의 방법에 비해 객체의 Poping현상을 없애고 동기화를 유지한 점에서 개선되었다고 할 수 있었다. 그러나 원래의 경로와는 변화된 다른 경로가 설정된다는 것과 이동이 완료되었을 때 수정된 경로로 향한 객체 진행 방향을 완료시점에서 원래의 진행방향으로 수정해야 항으로써 자연스럽지 못한 움직임을 보인다는 것이 문제점으로 지적되었다. 이를 보완하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 기존의 움직임 벡터를 새로 움직여야 할 움직임 벡터에 반영하여 새로운 경로가 원래의 경로와 보다 근접할 수 있도록 하고, 이동의 완료시점에서 객체가 향하는 방향이 원래 경로로 이동했을 경우와 동일하도록 하는 알고리즘을 제안하고, 각 알고리즘을 동일한 이동경로를 적용하여 비교하였다.

네트워크를 통한 미디어 서비스에 있어 다양한 미디어 서비스의 개발과 사용자들의 요구에 대응하기 위해 사용자와의 상호대화를 할 수 있는 미디어 전달 방법과 연속적인 재생을 보장하기 위한 버퍼정책이 요구된다. 지금까지의 관련된 연구에서는 여러 가지 다양한 방법을 통하여 동기화를 달성하고 있으나 상호대화라는 측면에서는 만족할 만한 해결책을 제시하지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 상호대화형 객체(Interactive Object)를 각 미디어 파일에 삽입하고 객체들이 서로의 정보를 이용할 수 있는 함수를 설계하여 동기화와 상호대화성이라는 문제를 해결하며 네트워크에 대한 의존성 때문에 발생하는 불연속적인 재생을 가변 버퍼를 이용함으로써 해결하였다.

The purpose of this research is to establish a method for the construction of a multimedia electronic dictionary system by integrating the media data available from linguistic resources on the Internet. As the result of this study, existing text-oriented electronic dictionary systems can be developed into multimedia lexical systems with greater efficiency and effectiveness. A method is proposed to integrate the media data of linguistic resources on the Internet by a web browser. In the proposed method, a web browser carries out all the work related to integration of media data, and it does not need a dedicated server system. The system constructed by our web browser environment integrates text, image, and voice sources, and also can produce moving pictures. Each media is associated with the meaning of data so that the data integration and movement may be specified in the associations. SMIL documents are generated by analyzing the meaning of each data unit and they are executed in a web browser. The proposed system can be operated without a dedicated server system. And also, the system saves storage space by sharing the each media data distributed on the Internet, and makes it easier to update data.

MPEG-4 provides high compression rate and uses object-oriented method to describe components of its structure, which has currently risen as the core technique in multimedia service fields. Our research objective is to provide object manager to MPEG-4 system in order that effective multimedia service could be available by supporting powerful interaction and adapting to various networks and terminals. Through the object manger, priorities are given to objects of a scene tree and the objects having higher priorities are first rendered according to the terminal capability. It also manages synchronization and update of the scene tree and object informations caused by user interactions.

The primary objective of this research was to establish and quantify the relationship between the physical degradation factors of multimedia telecommunications (teleconferencing) system and Subjective human perception. The research was performed in two stages. A field survey of the real users and pilot experiments were carried out in the first stage to determine customers' major complaints and corresponding system degradation factors. A prototype teleconferencing simulator was developed in two separate sound-treated chambers equipped with audio/video equipment running under a custom-developed software program. In the second stage, simulation experiments using the semantic differential methodology were performed utilizing 26 paid participants (14 college students and 12 housewives). The results indicated that audio/video synchronization and the frame rate were the main system factors for both subject groups, but different pattern of factors' influence was found according to the group, implying that the system configuration would hopefully accommodate the characteristics of the end users. Also, a single quality index, developed for system preference, was revealed to be highly correlated with user satisfaction. The results provide some fundamental data on the human subjective perception of multimedia telecommunications quality, and further can help establish the quality standards to enhance service level.

Our Digital Carousel enables user to share media objects through media synchronization mechanism. We implemented the Digital Carousel so that the users participated in collaborative work may refer shared media or error objects as the same view to others. In this paper, we discuss a method for increasing reliability through fault tolerance. We describe the design and implementation of the ER running on distributed multimedia environment. ER is a system which is able to recover automatically a software error based on distributed multimedia. This paper explains a performance analysis of an error recovery system running on distributed multimedia environment using the rule-based DEVS modeling and simulation techniques. In DEVS, a system has a time base, inputs, states, outputs, and functions.

HyTime(Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language), an international standard language to describe hypermedia electronic documents, is used to support the synchronization between various multimedia data for hypermedia applications. To manage the HyTime documents efficiently for shared environment, the logical structure information of them should be managed by database in a systematic way. In this Paper, we design a meta-database schema of HyTime DTDs(Document Type Definition) which define the logical structure of hypermedia documents and show how to manage the meta-database schema for storing the HyTime DTDs in the object-oriented database.

TCP packets occupy over 90% of current Internet traffic thus understanding of TCP throughput is crucial to understand Internet. Under the TCP congestion regime, heterogeneous flows, i.e., flows with different round-trip times (RTTs), that share the same bottleneck link will not attain equal portions of the available bandwidth. In fact, according to the TCP friendly formula, the throughput ratio of two flows is inversely proportional to the ratio of their RTTs. It has also been shown that TCP's unfairness to flows with longer RTTs is accentuated under loss synchronization. In this paper, we show that, injecting bursty background traffic may actually lead to new type of synchronization and result in unfairness to foreground TCP flows with longer RTTs. We propose three different metrics to characterize traffic burstiness and show that these metrics are reliable predictors of TCP unfairness.

By the most important media to deliver the contents on a remote instruction we commonly use audio and documents. A number of remote instruction system are trying to offer the video, but they did not acquire satisfiable results because of the limited network and width. Also, they use the general web browsers that have a lot of unspecific users access the contents. Also, they use the general web browsers that have a lot of unspecific users access the contents. Like this most systems that use the continuous media have not offer the satisfiable contents because of the network limitation. Moreover, because they use the web browser, they offer the contents having documents(web pages) only. In this paper, we propose a web-based remote instruction system on real-time using audio and documents which are the most important media for a information delivery. In addition to the system, we use a action synchronization mechanism between the web browsers. If the instructor uses web pages on his computer and explains the contents of them, the learners see the same web pages as the instructor's and listens to his voice.

Recently, dynamic proxy caching has been proposed on the distributed environment so that media objects by user's requests can be served directly from the proxy without contacting the server. However, it makes caching challenging due to multimedia large sizes, low latency and continuous streaming demands of media objects. To solve the problems caused by streaming demands of media objects, this paper has been proposed the grouping scheme with fuzzy filtering based on partition and mapping. For partition and mapping, this paper divides media block segments into fixed partition reference block(R$_f$P) and variable partition reference block(R$_v$P). For semantic relationship, it makes fuzzy relationship to performs according to the fixed partition temporal synchronization(T$_f$) and variable partition temporal synchronization(T$_v$). Simulation results show that the proposed scheme makes streaming service efficiently with a high average request response time rate and cache hit rate and with a low delayed startup ratio compared with other schemes.
