L2L (Live to e-Learning) a lecture capture and delivery service based on MediaMosa. Presentation by Matteo Bertazzo from CINECA InterUniversity Consortium at the MediaMosa Community day, November 25, 2010
The document discusses a cloud multimedia platform and its applications. It begins with an agenda that covers cloud computing concepts, multimedia in the cloud, case studies, and a summary. Case studies include multimedia processing and metadata, social network analysis in the cloud, and mobile multimedia elastic cloud applications. The summary states that cloud computing provides on-demand scalability, drives new data processing systems, allows fast development of scalable multimedia services, and has benefits for multimedia systems by offloading heavy tasks to cloud services. It asks what types of tasks are reasonable to implement in the cloud.
Mobile Multimedia Cloud Computing and the WebDejan Kovachev
Mobile multimedia services are in high demand, but their development comes at high costs. The emergent computing paradigm cloud computing has great potential to embrace these issues. In fact, we are at the early stage of the coalescence of cloud computing, mobile multimedia and the Web. Motivated by the tremendous success story of the Web based on its simplicity principles, we argue for a comprehensive review on current practices of web and mobile multimedia cloud computing techniques for avoiding frictions. We draw on experience from the development of advanced collaborative multimedia web applications utilizing multimedia metadata standards like MPEG-7 and real-time communication protocols like XMPP. We propose our i5CLoud, a hybrid cloud architecture, which serves as a substrate for scalable and fast time-to-market mobile multimedia services. This paper demonstrates the applicability of emerging cloud computing concepts for mobile multimedia.
The document discusses the Computer Architecture Group at the University of A Coruña and its work over the last 10 years on performance and scalability of distributed enterprise applications. The group has been working to achieve scalable performance on high speed clusters, handling millions of messages per second, and reducing application runtime from weeks to hours. The group's research covers areas like cluster/cloud computing, Java communication middleware, GPUs, and GIS/visualization. It develops JavaFastComms products for high performance Java communication and offers professional services in performance analytics, computer engineering, and training.
The document summarizes information about the i2CAT Foundation, a non-profit organization in Barcelona that conducts research and innovation in networking technologies. It discusses i2CAT's objectives of collaborating across sectors to advance networking research. It also provides details on i2CAT's board composition, main research areas, experimental platforms, connectivity, and example projects in areas like telehealth, audiovisual, and open innovation. Finally, it shows graphs on i2CAT's evolution in terms of budget, projects, companies involved, and research staff from 2004-2007.
AGGREGATING AND ENRICHING AUDIO-VISUAL METADATA USING EBUCORE | Athanasios DR...FIAT/IFTA
This document summarizes an academic paper presented at the World Conference 2013 in Dubai, UAE. The paper discusses how the EUscreen project aggregated and enriched audiovisual metadata from various European content providers using the EBUcore standard. It describes the three main phases of the project: ingesting metadata using the MINT tool, transforming metadata into a common EBUcore format, and publishing the aggregated metadata as Linked Open Data. The goal was to provide harmonized access to television content and resources for students, scholars and the public.
This article introduces multimedia cloud computing and presents a novel framework. It addresses multimedia cloud computing from both a multimedia-aware cloud and cloud-aware multimedia perspective. First, it presents a multimedia-aware cloud architecture called a media-edge cloud that aims to provide distributed multimedia processing and quality of service provisioning at the edge of the cloud. It then discusses how multimedia applications can optimally utilize cloud computing resources to achieve high quality of experience for users.
This document discusses the history and development of Natural Software's system integration work. It began with building a Java frontend in 2000 to access an existing Smalltalk insurance application. This evolved into a distributed system with over 14,000 clients accessing backend services through Java and Smalltalk facades. Natural Software later developed VASERControl as an integration platform for home automation systems using the same facade approach.
The document discusses integrating open source solutions into an enterprise IT stack. It describes the goals of the Open Source Integration Initiative (OSII) project, which aims to provide a framework for integrating existing open source modules. Several use cases are presented, including e-government portals, crisis management, and infrastructure as a service. The best practices of the City of Schwäbisch Hall are also mentioned. The OSII network brings together open source companies and receives government funding to develop integrated solutions and define new business models.

Concept browsing
Providing students with the ability to browse the lesson using a list of concepts
pointing them to the specific slide where the concept is being discussed
L2L integrates ConceptMapper an open source tool developed by Cineca in the
context of the European project Papyrus (news items’ annotation)
ConceptMapper (built on top of WikipediaMiner) exploits Wikipedia information to
automatically identify and disambiguate relevant concepts in texts (it, en, de, fr).
outputs consists in a list (XML file
stored in Mediamosa) of concepts
identified by the titles of the
Wikipedia pages that describe them
For each concept a relatedness
measure to the document or to a
domain is provided
L2L applies two filters:
a threshold on the relatedness
measure
selecting concepts of a slide
only if they are also identified
on the entire presentation

• New HTML5 – open video L2L player
• Web-editing of L2L lessons
22. Future works/developments
Mediamosa 2 and Moodle 2: Moodle Repository API plug-in for MM2
L2L: integration of new lecture recording software (i.e.
Matterhorn Recording agents, …)
Mediamosa and Fedora Commons (www.fedora-commons.org)
integration
Integration of Speech-to-text services (transcripts)
Currently the Ingestion module extracts the HQ audio from videos
Testing IBM VoiceTaylor (was IBM Attila research prj) and PerVoice
2 levels: MD, concepts identification and subtitling for accessibility
(manual correction)
Use an external service and develop language models for specific
domains (i.e. medicine, law, history)
New transcoding/transformation tools (i.e. L2L Mosaic as a MM
transcoding tool)
L2L: new techniques for A/V segmentation (currently L2L relies on
PPT)
Automatic generation of contextual and usage MD (i.e. from Moodle
courses)
L2L: ePub delivery
