Abstract: One of the main problems of standards in the context of usability of software quality is, that they can not be measured in product features. We present a new approach to measure user-interface quality in a quantitative way. First, we developed a concept to describe user-interfaces on a granularity level, that is detailed enough to preserve important interface characteristics, and is g...

We believe that designing a new network protocol stack whether for conventional communications or for perceptual time multimedia applications should be based on new concepts that suit the specific goals. Our aim is to build a platform for multimedia applications. It has hence to consider suitable concepts that will hopefully lead to an optimal design. The Multimedia platform (PRISM) design had ...

Over the last decade, a wide spectrum of (multimedia) content has become available to an increasing number of users who desire to access it through various devices and over heterogeneous networks. Interoperability is the key for enabling transparent and augmented use of (multimedia) content across a wide range of networks and devices. Standardization efforts within the Moving Picture Experts Gr...

This article introduces the MHEG-5 and MHEG-6 Multimedia standard defined by ISO/IEC JTC1 SC29/WG12. MHEG-5 describes an objectoriented multimedia interchange format that allows for the exchange of multimedia in multivendor and multi-OS environments. MHEG-5 is a subset of the generic MHEG-1 standard suitable for minimal resource systems such as set-top boxes. MHEG-6 extends MHEG-5 with advanced...

The ARMrayan Multimedia Mobile CMS (Content Management System) is the first mobile CMS that gives the opportunity to users for creating multimedia J2ME mobile applications with their desired content, design and logo; simply, without any need for writing even a line of code. The low-level programming and compatibility problems of the J2ME, along with UI designing difficulties, makes it hard for ...

To maximize end user satisfaction, Wireless multimedia application needs the communication networks to allocate resources dynamically. Cross layer framework design offers a solution to this problem. In this paper, a cross layer framework design strategy optimizes the application, physical and MAC layers jointly for video streaming. An efficient FEC mechanism to combat channel errors is chosen b...

T he First IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Big Data (BigMM 2015) took place at the Chinese National Convention Center in Beijing, China, from 20–22 April 2015. This conference was jointly sponsored by the IEEE Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing (TCMC) and IEEE Technical Committee on Semantic Computing (TCSEM) and was hosted by Peking University. The motivation for organizin...

This paper presents a region-based encoding/decoding for image sequences using Spatio-Temporal Tree Preserving 3-D SPIHT (STTP-SPIHT) algorithm, which is based on the 3-D SPIHT concepts, then further describes multiresolution decoding of the sequences. We have already proved the efficiency and robustness of the STTP-SPIHT in both of noisy and noiseless channels. This coder has also added benefi...
