Abstract
Most of the research work on multimedia systems to date has been carried out by the network research community. Much less work has been done by the operating system research community, but now there are quite a few projects in progress. This chapter focuses on current research, and looks closely at general design characteristics of operating systems that can support multimedia applications.
