Abstract :
This paper presents a new fine-grained temporal Petri net model for distributed multimedia synchronization that can handle fuzzy temporal requirements and facilitate to verify the possibility of satisfying QoS requirements. We present a procedure for constructing the fine-grained model, starting from a set of relative temporal relations among multimedia objects. And we give an approach to infer unknown durations. Finally, we discuss how to model intra-stream and inter-stream synchronizations so as to guarantee the QoS.
