Abstract

This paper presents the most comprehensive analysis and comparison of the most-known multimedia group and inter-stream synchronization approaches. Several types of multimedia synchronization are identified but only inter-stream and group synchronization algorithms are considered. This is the first survey including group synchronization techniques. A classification of the main synchronization techniques included in most of the analyzed algorithms complements the paper. Finally, a table is presented summarizing the main characteristics of each analyzed algorithm according to those techniques and other critical issues. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-03:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 41.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 41 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 15.
