Abstract |
Today, a vast amount of text, images, graphics, and animation are being hosted and delivered by the WWW. With rapid advances in audio and video technologies, more and more content will be encoded and delivered by means of audio/video in addition to texts and images. However, conventional Web servers are designed for data services and have no provisions for delivering continuous media such as audio and Vid-e-o. This paper presents the design and implementation of a stable digital video server which could display continuous-media along with traditional Web services. Finally, the paper gives some cases studies of an integrated electronic library, in order to propose an outline for the initiation of an electronic library.
