Multiple media types are becoming widely used in a variety of fields such as education, medicine, science, and entertainment. A challenging task is the storage management of non-textual media types (video, audio, animations, graphics, images). These media types usually require high volumes of storage, high bandwidth, and continuous display. Furthermore, media objects might be shared by several presentations and their display might be synchronized.
Our framework conceptualizes a multimedia presentation as a collection of objects with arbitrary temporal constraints. We seek to exploit these temporal constraints to significantly improve the performance of the storage system. In this talk, we present scheduling techniques and fault tolerance schemes to support the display of multimedia presentations.
Martha L. Escobar-Molano received her B.S. from the University of the Andes (Colombia), her M.S. from the University of Massachussetts at Boston, and her Ph.D. from the University of Southern California, all in Computer Science. After receiving her PhD, she was an assistant professor at the University of South Florida. While there, she received the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development award. Her current research interests include high-performance and reliable storage systems that support multiple media types (video, audio, animations, graphics, images), and multimedia databases.
