Abstract

Distributed multimedia applications require an adequate platform support. Towards a fully integrated infrastructure, we propose an approach, that combines a distributed object-based platform, with programming multimedia abstractions, and a synchronous model to control multimedia data flows.

Work in CNET was partially supported by Esprit Project n∘ 2267 ISA
