Objectives Research, education, and outreach in the field of Multimedia Computing. Networks

Significance A unique private high speed backbone that will allow unlimited experimental research to go on with direct access to Purdue rich infrastructure and I2.

Research methods Experimental infrastructure for research in: –networks –databases –security –compression –& –storage technology.

Focus The use of relevant research in Multimedia with an emphasis on QoS requirements across the various research areas.

Multimedia Research Testbed Construction Acquire the equipment necessary to create a world class multimedia computing environment to be used as a multimedia support infrastructure (MSI). The architecture and configuration of this testbed MSI will form the substrate for our research team.

Distributed Multimedia Database Management Quality of presentation management, specification, and translation as they relate to: data storage, I/O management, data placement, meta- schema design, data replication for reliability and efficiency, admission control for user sessions, and benchmarking of distributed applications. Develop and benchmark multimedia compression techniques for the transport of complex multimedia objects across the distributed networks

QoS Management for Networked Multimedia We propose to use the MSI infrastructure to perform research in QOS-sensitive access, dissemination, and transport of multimedia data retrieved from distributed multimedia databases.

Security at User and Network Levels Security is major concern for information systems that may be deployed in practice. We are planning to use the MSI infrastructure to perform research in ATM security, audit trails, watermarking, and intrusion detection of multimedia networks and data.

Security QoS- sensitive security architecture –Security mechanisms (user plane protection, control/management plane protection). –Secure QoS maintenance (use plane services, control/management plane services. –ATM security.

Multimedia Capture and Presentation Realistic capture, compression, and presentation of multimedia data. To this end, we plan to employ real-world multimedia data applications already accessible to us. The research in this category will be limited to compression. The rest of the issues in capture and presentation are carried out using commercial off-the-shelf technology.

QoS Dimensions Maximal end-to-end latency levels. Service precedence among different data sets. Reliability (e.g. error correction). Delay (mean transfer delay, 95 percentile transfer delay). Throughput (maximum bit rate, mean bit rate). Scheduled repeated transmission (number or repetitions, interval of repetitions ).

Why is it Important Data delivery delay variations, bit errors and data loss all are very pertinent to the quality of the video stream received. A transmission link with a bit error rate of would be acceptable for non- real time data transmission with some form of error correction, but unacceptable in a video stream. Therefore, in order to study issues which are significant in terms of the quality of video received we must extend it to QoP.

User Level Quality: QoP Oriented toward the perceived quality received and/or specified by the end user for audio, video or multimedia applications – presentation latency, –jitter, –luminance levels, –noise levels in the audio or images, –truthfulness of color rendering, – contrast, display resolution in terms of detail/sharpness etc.
