A system and method for providing a document object model to represent components of related entities for in-memory representations. The system and method provide for tangled data structures that are more readily parsed than conventional object models. Data is represented as items, relations and attributes. Items are described in terms of relations and attributes. Relations represent item associations. While attributes, represent other information about items. The present invention solves the pr…

Presented is a system and method for determining a user’s intent. Specifically, constituents and a topology are derived from the user’s expression of intent, which can be stated broadly or stated in specific detail. The intent is expressed verbally, written, or in an XML format. The constituents and topology are resolved into a configuration based upon contexts. The contexts, which include a resource context, a user context, and an application context, includes information about the user’s prefe…

The present invention analyzes a user’s or client application’s requirements and searches for a solution based on the end-to-end latency requirements (requested or derived), data formats, control protocols, timing and synchronization, local streaming, and resource availability. The search for a solution is tracked to allow backtracking from the point of no solution. Once a solution is determined, the system translates the solution into requirements for the individual components of the graph.

Techniques to manage media files may be described. An apparatus may comprise a media processing sub-system having a processor, a memory, and a communications interface. The memory may store a media file manager for execution by the processor. The communications interface may receive multiple media streams of media information. The media file manager may store the multiple media streams in a single file using a hierarchy of name-value pairs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Frame-based streaming data is controlled through a reconfigurable graph of processing modules. A control mechanism employs a set of components that are used and combined among themselves to implement control functions at the control pins of processing modules. The components include a source pin and a sink pin for connecting modules together, a queue for making data frames available to module functions, a data-frame requester, and a splitter for handling graph branches. When modules are assemble…

Frame-based streaming data flows through a graph of multiple interconnected processing modules. The modules have a set of performance parameters whose values specify the sensitivity of each module to the selection of certain resources of a system. A user specifies overall goals for an actual graph for processing a given type of data for a particular purpose. A flow manager constructs the graph as a sequence of module interconnections required for processing the data, in response to the parameter…
