Media synchronization in multimedia Web using a neuro-fuzzy framework

We consider the problem of multimedia synchronization in a Web environment. The workload generated by the multimedia server during a Web session exhibits variations that are quite different from the traffic fluctuation offered by a single media stream, e.g., a variable bit rate (VBR) video. We propo...

description We consider the problem of multimedia synchronization in a Web environment. The workload generated by the multimedia server during a Web session exhibits variations that are quite different from the traffic fluctuation offered by a single media stream, e.g., a variable bit rate (VBR) video. We propose a set of parameters that can be used to characterize the workload generated by the multimedia server in a Web-type browsing environment. The workload characterization scheme is subsequently used in designing a server-based synchronization scheme. The problem of scheduling multimedia information to ensure media synchronization in a Web environment is identified as a multicriteria scheduling problem, which is NP-hard. The ability of fuzzy control to deal with multivariables makes it a good alternative for the multicriteria scheduling problem considered. Consequently, we propose a neuro-fuzzy scheduler (NFS) that makes an intelligent compromise among multicriteria by properly combining some scheduling heuristics. Performance of the NFS is compared with several known heuristics and a branch and bound algorithm. The results show that the proposed NFS ran dynamically adjust to the varying workload quite well.
