N2 - The environments of distributed multimedia systems are dynamic. The users and applications should, however, have the capabilities of specifying the intended QoS of multimedia data and adapting to the restriction and the dynamic changes of computing resources. In this paper, an integrated and uniform framework, the Active Multimedia System, is proposed for distributed multimedia systems to adapt to dynamic changes in a heterogeneous environment. The approach is based on the provision of multimedia schemas and transformation algorithms, coupled with the concept of QoS-messages, the atomic units of multimedia presentation and communication. The portability and flexibility of the framework make it feasible to support dynamic adaptation for a wide variety of multimedia applications.
