Instead of separated bandwidth renegotiation for variable bit rate traffic of each LAN/MAN, using the statistical multiplexing of several LANs traffic can increase the network resource utilization and satisfy the quality of service requirements for multimedia communication. For multiplexed multimedia LAN traffic, we develop a dynamic resource allocation scheme which is mainly controlled by a connectionless server (CLS) that supports connectionless service function (CLSF) in an ATM network. The simulation results show that our scheme improves performance and is robust to user traffic behaviors.","PeriodicalId":196946,"journal":{"name":"5th IEEE COMSOC International Workshop on Multimedia Communications","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129093645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The area of telediagnostic and remote consultation between physicians will be one that can obtain more benefits. In this work a telediagnostic system applied to teleradiology is presented. The system is built on a Unix software/hardware standard platform, a specific DSP, video card, and an audio and video acquisition and reproduction devices, that incorporate multimedia facilities. The dialogue between physicians is established either interactively on real time, or non interactively through multimedia mail. At low level the transferred information is conveyed on a multimedia structure with TCP/IP protocols over the main public or private telematic networks. The users dispose of a set of multimedia editors to manipulate data, text, voice, images and video over a window environment, that along with the synchronisation of the two remote screens and applications, facilitate the interchange of information between remote sites.","PeriodicalId":196946,"journal":{"name":"5th IEEE COMSOC International Workshop on Multimedia Communications","volume":"78 7 Suppl 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129960709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The requirements for the intelligent information medium are real time processing ability for natural interaction between a man and a machine, ability to adapt to the environment, i.e. for the machine to adapt to human beings, and multi-media capability in the course of the interaction.

The methods proposed have been simulated and then implemented in the actual prototype system. As opposed to the common time stamping concepts, we use a hierarchical approach that first smooths each stream timing and then synchronizes the streams to each other by delaying the \"earlier\" ones. The concept is based on the \"Adaptive Method\", but it has been extended and improved to support framed video and audio as well as unstructured, constant bit rate voice streams without additional framing overhead. Another interesting point is that the multimedia storage device can preserve the relative timing information between the streams, i.e. there is no difference whether the transmission is live or stored. It is also a convenience of this synchronization and storage concept, that the operating system can keep the stored video and audio tracks themselves, as well as their directory information on the same disk.","PeriodicalId":196946,"journal":{"name":"5th IEEE COMSOC International Workshop on Multimedia Communications","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127606773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
