Asynchronism in the multimedia playback of the users may have a significant impact on the acceptability of systems providing the distributed multimedia experience. The synchronization needed in such systems is called Inter-Destination Multimedia Synchronization. In this paper we propose a demo that implements IDMS by the means of our self-organized and distributed approach assisted by pull-based streaming. We also provide a video of the planned demonstration and provide the mobile application as open source licensed under the GNU LGPL.}, language = {EN}, location = {Portland, Oregon}, talkdate = {2015.03.18}, talktype = {poster} }
