Abstract

The ubiquitous multimedia is a promising application area of ubiquitous computing. The ubiquitous multimedia advocates access to multimedia contents any time and any where. The ubiquitous multimedia applications should be adaptable to the mobile computing environments. This paper proposes the concept and a framework to deploy Personalized Ubiquitous Multimedia (PUM). In the PUM applications, users can create/compose and download heterogeneous multimedia contents to form a personalized multimedia library having large data volume. The proposed framework enables the multimedia users to store/upload the personalized media contents at remote servers stationed in mobile communication architecture based on a specialized high-performance mobile distributed file system. The remotely stored media files can be managed, indexed, shared and re-used (streamed) after content adaptation to the individual mobile devices using the mobile agent technology. The proposed framework integrates the mobile agent systems and Virtual memory based Mobile Distributed File System (VMDFS) to create a platform to deploy PUM. The framework combines the advantages of mobile agent systems and the high-performance VMDFS.
