o papers/94MMComputing.ps.Z - copies of slides from a highlight talk at
  the UC Berkeley Industrial Liason Program on multimedia computing.  Main
  topics: importance of mosaic/www, video-on-demand architectures and problems,
  and desktop video conferencing.

o papers/CMMPEG-SPIE94.ps.Z - A paper describing the heuristics we used
  to implement synchronized mpeg video and sparc audio playback in the
  CMPlayer system.

o papers/VodsArch-SPIE94.ps.Z - A paper describing the architecture of the
  the Berkeley Distributed VOD System that is designed to store thousands
  of hours of video material on tertiary storage devices that can be staged
  to video file servers.

o papers/VodsDB-SPIE94.ps.Z - A paper that describes the metadata database
  in the Berkeley Distributed VOD System.  The database contains a variety
  of indexes to the video material which a user can query to locate material
  of interest.

o papers/VideoCompression-Usenix94.*.ps.Z - Copies of slides from an invited
  talk on Video Compression given at Usenix '94 by L. Rowe.  The BW file has
  a black and white version of the slides with 2 to a page, and the Color file
  a color version with 1 slide to a page.

o papers/dv-at-ucb.txt -- A survey of digital video research in the EECS
  Department at U.C. Berkeley.  This article will appear in the 1994 EECS/ERL
  Research Summary.

o papers/compressed.ps.Z

o papers/VodsProp93.ps.Z - a revised version of the Berkeley VOD Server
  proposal first released on August 20, 1993.

o papers/VODProp-Rowe.ps.Z -- a rough draft of a proposal to be submitted
  to NSF to build a video-on-demand system.  Novel feature of the system
  is that it includes a large tertiary storage archive and a metadata
  database with an ad hoc query browser to search for particular videos.
  The archive server talks to several video file servers so that an
  organization can share file servers.

o papers/MM93Talk.ps.Z is a copy of the slides used for the talk at the ACM
  Multimedia 93 conference for the previous paper. The performance
  numbers comparing the mpeg player on different platforms were updated 
  the week before the conference so they reflect the most recent results.

o papers/{Mpeg94.txt,VODarch94.txt,VODdb94.txt} -- abstracts submitted
  to SPIE '94 that describe recent work on integrating our mpeg video 
  decoder into the CMPlayer and the design of the UCB video-on-demand system.
