Recent technology advances have made computer-based multimedia
cooperation among distributed users feasible. Joint-Viewing (JV) is
one such proposed cooperation concept. Correct interaction in it
requires synchronization at various levels. In this paper we focus
on synchronization aspects on the data stream level. We present
several JV scenarios and state for each of these requirements
concerning interstream synchronization. Then we introduce basic
abstractions of a synchronisazion scheme which is powerful enough to
model a variety of JV configurations with their various
synchronization needs. The presented scheme is based on the notion
of a referencing system which consists of a set of logical clocks
each defining a different time zone in the referencing system.
Logical clocks provide timing information for input and output
devices which are used to produce and consume data in a synchronized
fashion.
