Abstract

As part of a research project which is underway, this paper describes the setting for a distributed multimedia platform. We envision that the information systems of the future will be based upon distributed systems and improved ways to store, process, retrieve and transfer information by utilizing text, images, graphics, animation, speech, video and sound. In this paper, we describe the environment of interest, we discuss the overhead required by such a system as well as systems which are currently available. Finally, we provide the description of our effort in this setting
