Abstract

Distributed multimedia applications pose new, interesting challenges in distributed operating system support. This paper focuses on a computational model, i.e. a set of programming system interface abstractions, well-suited for distributed multimedia applications. The paper advocates a mixed approach, based on the use of synchronous languages for programming multimedia synchronization. In particular, we discuss the use of ESTEREL, an imperative synchronous language, as a basic constituent of our mixed computational model, the usefulness and practicality of its semantic features, and its embedding in an asynchronous distributed system.
