In order to provide the smooth playback of a distributed multimedia presentation, the object-retrieving engine for the player must fetch each object before its playback time. In this paper, a smart object-retrieving engine is proposed, which adopts a retrieving policy named the just-in-time policy. The policy expects the retrieval process of an object to finish right before the playback time of the object to achieve a better buffer utilization and network bandwidth efficiency. The proposed object-retrieving engine focuses on SMIL1.0-based multimedia presentations. By converting the synchronization relationship of objects in the SMIL 1.0 document to Real-Time Synchronization Model, which simplifies the handling of the synchronization relationship, and considering the end-to-end bandwidth as well as the user interactions, the object-retrieving engine determines the object request time for each object. The engine issues the request to fetch each object for the ongoing presentation at the object request time, and provides the player with proper media objects. The feasibility and better performance of the proposed just-in-time retrieving policy had been proved by performance measurements of system implementation.
