A Research Infrastructure for Fast Image and Visualization Distribution

9401159特纳该奖项为扩展和增强宽带多媒体网络提供支持，以支持分布式成像和可视化领域一系列密切相关的合作研究活动。该网络将利用异步传输模式(ATM)技术来快速分发高分辨率图像、可视化、演播室质量的视频和多速率数据。研究课题分为两类：可扩展网络、支持多媒体应用的主机/网络接口、大型多媒体信息服务器、协议和操作系统的设计和分析、可扩展并行处理和声明式可视化等使能技术的研究。其次，研究了这些技术在真实分布式成像和可视化系统中的应用。

9401159 Turner This award provides support for extending and enhancing a broadband multi- media network to support a set of closely related collaborative research activities in the area of distributed imaging and visualization. The network will utilize Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology for the fast distribution of high-resolution images, visualizations, studio-quality video and multi-rate data. The research topics fall into two categories: research on enabling technologies such as scalable networks, host/network interfaces supporting multimedia applications, design and analysis of large-scale multimedia information servers, protocols and operating systems, scalable parallel processing and declarative visualization. And secondly, research on the application of these technologies to real distributed imaging and visualization systems.
