MILOS is a multimedia content management system specialised to support multimedia digital library applications. MILOS provides applications with functionalities for the storage of arbitrary multimedia documents and their content based retrieval using arbitrary metadata models represented in XML. MILOS is flexible in the management of documents containing different types of data and content desc...

This paper describes general storage and retrieval methods for XML documents using object-relational databases. The storage method decomposes tree structure of XML documents into nodes, and stores them in relational tables according to the node types. By using this method, being independent of DTDs or element types, any XML documents can be stored in databases. Also it is possible to utilize in...

In multimedia DBMS, continuous media operations require constrained accesses to the storage system, which can vary unpredictably across users and application programs. To support real-time applications for continuous media, the storage system has to schedule the reservation of resources exclusively to guarantee time-dependent real-time retrieval, such as display. In addition, the system should ...

This paper presents the comparison of two different methods in the system identification. The experimental modal analysis and operational modal analysis are applied to a local structure of a storage/retrieval machine (S/R machine). The different vibration measurement approach and different theoretic analysis approach give us more information than only one approach. Through the result, the consi...
