Abstract :
With the development of distributed multimedia systems, there has been much research on how to reduce network traffic and how to initialize and gather the distributed multimedia resources. We propose a robust system using intelligent mobile agents to construct an automatic and adaptation mechanism for distributed multimedia synchronization. Furthermore, an adaptive quality of service (QoS) mechanism is also support by this system. The Distributed Multimedia Synchronization Agent (DMSAgent) system is proposed to improve the efficiency of distributed multimedia networks. Furthermore, using intelligent and mobile agent technology will reduce the frequency of handshaking between client and server
