In ISO MPEG, MPEG-H has been standardized to smoothly deliver huge volume of ultra-high resolution videos over heterogeneous network environments for the consumers. In the MPEG-H standard, MMT(MPEG Media Transport) protocol is the next generation MPEG media transport technology to provide hybrid media delivery over heterogeneous environments. It is important to sustain accurate media synchronization to provide ultra-high resolution video services over heterogeneous network environments. In this paper, we propose and verify an in-band media synchronization scheme to circumvent the problem of additional session setup and excessive traffic problems of the conventional out-of-band media synchronization supported by the MMT technology.

This paper proposes a new terrestrial 3DTV broadcasting standard specification based on synchronization with non-real-time contents in order to overcome quality limitations of the current 3DTV services that are arisen from the limited bandwidth of the legacy broadcasting channel. In the services using the proposed specification, one view sequence of a stereoscopic video content is delivered as a non-real-time content in idle time, and the other view sequence is transmitted in real time broadcasting signal, thereafter two sequences are synchronized in a receiver for display. Thus, it is possible to provide higher-quality stereoscopic video content services than the current 3DTV services. In order to realize these services, a new mechanism is required which enables synchronization between the data that are from different transmission media and time. Therefore, this paper suggests a solution by multiplexing the synchronization signals of non-real-time contents into broadcasting signals with real-time streams together. This solution can provide a accurate synchronization mechanism by minimum updates of legacy broadcasting systems while maintaining compatibility with legacy services.

Goal of this Paper is to design and develop core kernel components f3r single processor real-time system, which include real-time schedulers, synchronization mechanism, IPC, message passing, and clock & timer. The goal also contains the basic researches on dynamic load balancing and scheduling which provide mechanism for the distributed information processing and efficient resource sharing among various information appliances based on network.

Synchronization is the process of making replicated data on multiple devices be consistent, i.e., identical with each other. In Dec. 2000, major handheld computer manufacturers including Nokia, Ericsson, IBM published the SyncML protocol specification. In this paper, we describe the CNU SyncML server for PIMS(Personal Information Management System) service that we developed based on the SyncML specification. The server architecture and capabilities of the frames are presented along with the procedure of message processing by each frame. We put the CNU SyncML server to the conformance tests and interoperability tests to confirm its functionality. The session managing mechanism of the CNU SyncML server showed better performance than our previous implementations.

In this paper, we present a new framework and stream synchronization mechanism to effectively support developing real-time multimedia streaming services by using a real-time object model named TMO (Time-triggered Message-triggered Object). The purpose of the framework is twofold. Firstly, the framework helps developers to design complex distributed real-time multimedia streaming services. Secondly, it supports timely streaming facilities. In order to achieve these goals, our framework is consist of Multimedia Streaming TMO, MMStreaming TMO Support Library and TMO Support Middleware. The time-triggered spontaneous feature of the MMStream TMO and a global-time based synchronization scheme is used as a regulator against the irregular deliveries and processing of media units caused by QoS non-guaranteed systems and communication channels. In conclusion, timely service capability of our framework is expected to contributed to overall enhancement of the real-time multimedia streaming.

Android platform provides a content provider and a cursor mechanism to access the internal SQLite engine. Content providers not only store and retrieve data but also make it accessible to applications. Applications can only share data through content provider, since there's no common storage area that Android packages can access. Cursor is an interface that provides random read-write access to the result set returned by a database query. However, this cursor possesses two major limitations. First, a cursor does not support a join clause among cursors, since the cursor can only access a single table in the content provider. Second, the cursor is not capable of creating user-customized field in the predefined content providers. In this paper, we propose the unified cursor architecture that merges several cursors into a single virtual cursor. Cursor translation look-aside buffer (TLB), column windowing mechanism and virtual data management are the three major techniques we have adopted to implement our structure. And we also propose a delayed synchronization method between an application and a proposed unified cursor. An application can create a user-customized field and sort multiple tables using a unified cursor on Android platform.

In this paper, we construct a remote data access interface model using the IPC mechanism based on the monitor concept. A general purpose IPC mechanism which can be used to implement arbitrary forms of communications control over distributed processes in a network environment is developed as a basis to build the framework for the model. The interface model and synchronization mechanisms are presented for providing application processes with remote data access capability using the above IPC mechanism.

In this paper, we designed real time mechanism control language and proposed execution time analysis technique. It was impossible to handle real-time mechanism control programs like programmable controller, numerical controller, distributed control system and robot controller with general purpose programming languages and operating systems because they have to process electric signals generated by thousands of sensors at the same at the same time and in real time. So we made it possible to predict plausibility of time constraint constructs of tiem constraint construct of a real time application program at compilation time by adding time constraint constructs and mechanism synchronization structure to conditional statement and iteration statement of a programming language and developing execution time analysis technique.

Effective synchronization specification model which can specify temrxlral relationship among media resolving asynchronous problem due to variable network delay is necessary in a distributed multimedia system. Therefore in this paper, we propose RTPN(Real- Time Petri Net) synchronization specification model based on Petri Net for multimedia application in a distributed real time environment. The proposed RTPN model supplies a tlexible decsription of the temporal relationship among various media objects by defining primary key media and relative key media according to delay and importance among media. Firing rule is instantly executed by firing function based on QoS values which supports intra-media and inter-media syncbronization. And asynchronous control algorithm for resynchronization of presentation level is possible more effective supporting of QoS.

Participants of a NVE(networked virtual environment) may have different hardwares and network environments, and to guarantee the fairness, messages of participants should be synchronized. A solution for the synchronization problem is to wait for a certain amount of time until the server processes the message. It is not easy to determine a suitable waiting period because of the trade-off between the fairness and the responsiveness. In this paper we propose a method to decide a waiting period by considering only the participants with small network delays and perform experiments for the performance evaluation. Experiments show that the proposed method leads to significant improvement of responsiveness, while retaining fairness.
