Abstract

The Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) is recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) because it offers an integrating format representing how various media objects are positioned spatially and combined temporally using a collection of XML elements and attributes for multimedia delivery over the Web. This paper presents the design and implementation of a JAVA-based SMIL player, which processes different types of media objects using multiple threads. Its cache engine detects the media type and allocates the proper cache memory for the corresponding media object.
