Performance evaluation of an interactive Web-based multimedia document system with streaming media

A useful feature in Web-based real-time presentations is to provide interactive functionality to end users. We introduce a new such functionality to seek salient objects in a streaming video hyperlinked to multimedia documents. We propose a non-uniform time interval caching (NUTIC) technique for caching objects arbitrarily located in a streaming video at a user's site. An experimental performance assessment of the proposed NUTIC technique is presented.
