Title:               ResCUE Seminar Series:  HYDRA - High Performance
Data Recording Architecture for Streaming Media

 

Speaker:        Roger Zimmermann, research assistant professor, computer
science department, USC

 

Time:              2 p.m.

 

Date:               August 11, 2006

 

Location:        Calit2 Building, Room 3008

 

Abstract:         In recent years, a considerable amount of research has
focused on the efficient retrieval of streaming media. Scant attention
has been paid to servers that can record and synchronously manipulate
such streams in real-time. This talk presents a framework to enable
large-scale, multi-modal, real-time media recording support in a broad
class of applications. Zimmermann will introduce the High-performance
Data Recording Architecture (HYDRA) which aims to provide a unified
paradigm that integrates multi-channel media streaming, recording,
retrieval and control in a coherent manner. He will elaborate on the
technology his group has developed for live streaming and its
experimental experiences. Some of the properties that make the
manipulation of continuous media challenging and different from
traditional alphanumeric, text, image and alphanumeric streaming data,
are the combination of real-time storage and retrieval, high bandwidth
and large size, and inter-stream synchronization requirements.  This
talk presents some of the technologies that have been developed for
HYDRA and the experimental experiences with several applications. For
example, the group's distributed immersive performance (DIP) project
explores one of the most challenging goals of networked media
technology: creating a seamless environment for remote and synchronous
musical collaboration. In another project, Zimmermann and colleagues are
creating and studying a collaborative environment for aircraft
maintenance and training.

 

Bio:                 Roger Zimmermann is currently a research assistant
professor with the computer science department and a research area
director with the Integrated Media Systems Center (IMSC) at the
University of Southern California. His research activities focus on
streaming media architectures, peer-to-peer systems, immersive
environments, collaborative large-scale group communications and mobile
location-based services. Zimmermann has co-authored a book, a patent and
more than eighty conference publications, journal articles and book
chapters in the areas of multimedia and databases. He was the co-chair
of the ACM Next-Generation Residential Broadband Challenges 2004
workshop, the Open Source Software Competition of the ACM Multimedia
2004 conference, and the short paper program systems track of ACM
Multimedia 2005. He is co-chairing the Multimedia Computing and
Networking conference 2007 and is the proceedings chair of ACM
Multimedia 2006.  He is on the editorial board of SIGMOD DiSC, the ACM
Computers in Entertainment magazine and the International Journal of
Multimedia Tools and Applications.  He has served on the conference
program committees of many leading conferences in multimedia and is a
member of ACM and IEEE.
