Rune Hjelsvold and Subu Vdaygiri and Yves Leaute (2001). Web-based personalization and management of interactive video. The tenth international World Wide Web conference on World Wide Web pp.129--139. http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/371920.371969

Abstract
This paper describes an application framework for providing and managing personalized, interactive video on the web. Theapplication framework enables content providers and aggregators to stream personalized content to end-users. The server storesvideo and multimedia content that is structured and profiled. The content profile is matched against an end-user’s interest profile todetermine which parts of the video to include and what hotspots and hyperlinks to provide to the user. The server generates SMILfiles that represent the personalized content and returns their unique URLs to the client when responding to end-user requests.This paper also describes how the application framework is implemented by the HotStreams system. HotStreams isimplemented using the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE). HotStreams is eCommerce and micropayment enabled andprovides the means for content providers to specify the value of the content down to the level of individual video clips. Thisallows the content provider to charge for the parts of the video that the end-user actually viewed or received. The HotStreams application includes web-based management tools that enable content managers to manage multimedia objects, to compose, structure, and profile the content, to create and profile hotspots and hyperlinks, and to manage pricing information and advertisements. The management tools areimplemented in the form of Java applets that run inside a web browser.
