Abstract

The development of ATM networking makes it attractive to use computer communication networks for the transport of digital audio and motion video. When coupled with advances in workstation technology, this creates the opportunity to integrate these continuous information media within a distributed computing system. Continuous media have an inherent temporal dimension, resulting in a set of synchronization requirements which have real-time properties. The paper identifies the role and position of synchronization, in terms of the support which is necessary in an integrated distributed system
