AND in - Iitimedia: Distributed

This document provides an overview of architectures and issues related to distributed multimedia systems. It discusses the need for new multimedia data types in existing computing and communication systems, leading to redesigns to accommodate new requirements for performance and application abstractions. The structures of these multimedia systems are complicated due to the range of impacted system facilities, including distributed object management, hypermedia document architectures, multimedia formats, and more. The chapter presents a framework for organizing these activities at a high level.
