This paper presents the design and the implementation of the Virtual Video Gallery (VVG), an advanced distributed video ondemand system accessible through a dynamic virtual world, which mimes an art gallery where movie posters are exhibited. The design phase is driven by object-oriented modeling techniques which depend on UML and its extensions purposely suited to model multimedia information s...

This paper presents a new coarse-grain reconfigurable array optimized for multimedia processing. The system has been designed to provide a dense support for arithmetic operations, wide internal data bandwidth and efficiently distributed memory resources. All these characteristics are combined into a cohesive structure that efficiently supports a block-level pipelined dataflow, which is particul...

R ecent years have witnessed an explosive growth of multimedia data due to higher processor speeds, faster networks, wider availability of high-capacity mass-storage devices, and the advent of cloud computing. Stimulated by current work in scalable machine learning, feature indexing and multimodal analysis techniques, researchers are increasingly interested in exploring challenges and new oppor...
