The JUPITER Triangle U P I U <-> P: Conferencing Services U <-> I: Retrieval Services P <-> I: local / wide area ATM
U TRIALS IN EUROPE P I • Experts from different areas • network: ISDN, local and • wide area ATM (link to JAMES) • multimedia conferencing services • retrieval services based on DAVIC • psychologists with good IT • knowledge and experience in • usability tests
Interoperability U TRIALS IN EUROPE P I • conformance tests based on DAVIC 1.0 specification • proved interoperability of up to 4 systems using • MHEG-5 for scene objects • MPEG2 for audio/video • DSM-CC for control • Fixing of implementation bugs • Defects reports regarding • DSM-CC, MHEG,..
Performability U TRIALS IN EUROPE P I • Relationship between user’s perception of the quality of service and the actual network performance • end-to-end delay has significant effect on user’s perception • not significant: application and protocol delay • significant delays: cell shaping, packetisation, video compression,...
Performability U TRIALS IN EUROPE P I • Checklist for running MM-services over ATM • User’s task affects their perception of the service quality • Effect of network loss and delay depends on audio/video coding used • End-system can be bottleneck • Only ATM CBR or UBR connections can be recommended
Usability U TRIALS IN EUROPE P I • Usability testing of MM conferencing and retrieval services • 19 recommendations related to MM retrieval services • 20 recommendations related to MM conferencing services • Guidance to design user interfaces in order to improve ease of use, learnability, efficiency, memorability, ...
U TRIALS IN EUROPE P I Output • Final Deliverable consisting of 4 volumes covering main findings and usability, performability and interoperability trials • Video on usability testing • JUPITER leaflet • Guidebook to implementing broadband MM services • WWW information on JUPITER
U TRIALS IN EUROPE P I Dissemination • Presentations at four EURESCOM seminars • Demonstrations of Interoperability of DAVIC compliant systems in New York and Geneva (Inter@ctive) • Five contributions to conferences • EURESCOM-COST248 workshop
U TRIALS IN EUROPE P I A U P I Outlook • JUPITER II • 1 March 1998 - 30 September 1999 • 245 MM From JUPITER triangle to JUPITER square
