Abstract
Distributed multimedia (MM) systems have to provide users with the ability to specify their performance requirements. Quality of service (QoS) parameters represent an adequate measure for the specification of time-dependent MM-data like audio or video streams In order to guarantee the fulfillment of application requirements, a mapping onto the involved network and operating system resources has to be performed. This paper shows how QoS translation can be performed in distributed MM-systems. Parameter translations between abstraction layers including a terminology and the interdependencies between the parameters are presented. Furthermore, mapping stimuli that imply a modification of QoS parameters are identified and their respective effects are described.
