Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interactive Video-on-Demand Systems: Resource Management and Scheduling Strategies addresses issues in scheduling and management of resources in an interactive continuous-media (e.g., audio and video) server. The book emphasizes dynamic and run-time strategies for resource scheduling and management. Such strategies provide effective tools for supporting interactivity with on-line users who require the system to be responsive in serving their requests, and whose needs and actions vary frequently over time. With an emphasis on responsiveness and transient performance, this book elaborates on dynamic strategies for managing and scheduling resources in Video-on-Demand/Multimedia systems. Unlike previous books, this volume presents an unprecedented detailed analysis of the start-up and departure of streams. It gives a comprehensive evaluation of various techniques as workloads are varied in multiple dimensions (including arrival rate, data rate and length of play). Interactive Video-on-Demand Systems: Resource Management and Scheduling Strategies collectively addresses multiple issues including QoS, throughput, responsiveness and efficiency. The solutions discussed in this volume are particularly valuable to practitioners who are building digital library, interactive multimedia and hypermedia servers. Interactive Video-on-Demand Systems: Resource Management and Scheduling Strategies is an excellent reference for researchers, practitioners and educators in the field of multimedia systems, and may be used for advanced courses on multimedia systems and Video-on-Demand servers.

This book was released on 2007-06-30 with total page 1281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second IFIP-TC6 Netw- king Conference, Networking 2002. Networking 2002 was sponsored bythe IFIP Working Groups 6.2, 6.3, and 6.8. For this reason the conference was structured into three tracks: i) Networking Technologies, Services, and Protocols, ii) Perf- mance of Computer and Communication Networks, and iii) Mobile and Wireless Communications. This year the conference received 314 submissions coming from 42 countries from all ?ve continents Africa (4), Asia (84), America (63), Europe (158), and Oc- nia (5). This represents a 50% increase in submissions over the ?rst conference, thus indicating that Networking is becoming a reference conference for wor- wide researchers in the networking community. With so manypapers to choose from, the job of the Technical Program C- mittee, to provide a conference program of the highest technical excellence, was both challenging and time consuming. From the 314 submissions, we ?nallys- ected 82 full papers for presentation during the conference technical sessions. To give young researchers and researchers from emerging countries the oppor- nityto present their work and to receive useful feedback from participants, we decided to include two poster sessions during the technical program. Thirty-one short papers were selected for presentation during the poster sessions. The conference technical program was split into three days, and included, in addition to the 82 refereed contributions, 5 invited papers from top-level rese- chers in the networking community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "In recent years, rapid performance improvements in the design of processors, communications systems, and storage systems have facilitated the creation of new and exciting applications such as video-on- demand. With growing interest in video-on-demand as an application for high-performance computers, a close examination of the requirements and the performance evaluation of this application on such machines is warranted. Video-on-demand can be implemented on many platforms. A typical design includes a video server that supplies continuous video streams to a number of distributed viewing stations. This paper focuses on the use of a parallel processor as a video-on-demand server using this type of design. Presented are performance results based on a simulation model of the system. These results show that the internal network can be the bottleneck in this system. However, using a parallel processor as a video-on-demand server is scalable provided that sufficient buffering is present to eliminate or reduce glitches caused primarily by network contention."

Abstract: This thesis targets at modeling and resolving practical problems using mathematical tools in two representative networking systems nowadays, i.e., peer-to-peer (P2P) video streaming system and cloud computing system. In the first part, we study how to mitigate the following tussle between content service providers and ISPs in P2P video streaming systems: network-agnostic P2P protocol designs bring lots of inter-ISP traffic and increase traffic relay cost of ISPs; in turn, ISPs start to throttle P2P packets, which significantly deteriorates P2P streaming performance. First, we investigate the problem in a mesh-based P2P live streaming system. We use end-to-end streaming delays as performance, and quantify the amount of inter-ISP traffic with the number of copies of the live streams imported into each ISP. Considering multiple ISPs at different bandwidth levels, we model the generic relationship between the volume of inter-ISP traffic and streaming performance, which provides useful insights on the design of effective locality-aware peer selection protocols and server deployment strategies across multiple ISPs. Next, we study a similar problem in a hybrid P2P-cloud CDN system for VoD streaming. We characterize the relationship between the costly bandwidth consumption from the cloud CDN and the inter-ISP traffic. We apply a loss network model to derive the bandwidth consumption under any given chunk distribution pattern among peer caches and any streaming request dispatching strategy among ISPs, and derive the optimal peer caching and request dispatching strategies which minimize the bandwidth demand from the cloud CDN. Based on the fundamental insights from our analytical results, we design a locality-aware, hybrid P2P-cloud CDN streaming protocol. In the second part, we study the profit maximization and cost minimization problems in Infrastructure-as- a- Service (IaaS) cloud systems. The first problem is how a geo-distributed cloud system should price its datacenter resources at different locations, such that its overall profit is maximized over long-term operation. We design an efficient online algorithm for dynamic pricing of VM resources across datacenters, together with job scheduling and server provisioning in each datacenter, to maximize the cloud's profit over the long run. Theoretical analysis shows that our algorithm can schedule jobs within their respective deadlines, while achieving a time-averaged overall profit closely approaching the offline maximum, which is computed by assuming perfect information on future job arrivals is freely available. The second problem is how federated clouds should trade their computing resources among each other to reduce the cost, by exploiting diversities of different clouds' workloads and operational costs. We formulate a global cost minimization problem among multiple clouds under the cooperative scenario where each individual cloud's workload and cost information is publicly available. Taking into considerations jobs with disparate length, a non-preemptive approximation algorithm for leftover job migration and new job scheduling is designed. Given to the selfishness of individual clouds, we further design a randomized double auction mechanism to elicit clouds' truthful bidding for buying or selling virtual machines. The auction mechanism is proven to be truthful, and to guarantee the same approximation ratio to what the cooperative approximation algorit

Book excerpt: The principle aim of this book, entitled "Operations ResearchlManagement Science at Work", is to provide a summary snapshot of recent research in and applications of Operations Research (OR)/ Management Science (MS) in the Asia-pacific region. The book emphasises research having potential industry interest, covering a wide range of topics from major fields of ORIMS in a systematic and coherent fashion and shows the elegance of their implementations. The book is intended to serve the needs of applied researchers who are interested in applications of ORIMS algorithms. The book includes descriptions of many real-world problems together with their solutions; we hope the reader will appreciate their applicability. The Asia-pacific region has embraced business applications of decision support systems in recent years. Given that many of these applications are unaffected by legacy models or systems it has meant that state of the art ORIMS techniques have been embedded in them. Moreover, the increased use of OR/MS techniques in this region provides opportunities for identifying methodological advances that are taking place as a result of the unique nature of the applications. These also provide opportunities for exploring synergies and interfaces that exist between OR/MS, from the point of view of applications as well as theoretical advances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the proliferation of available video content and the popularity of the Internet have encouraged service providers to develop new ways of distributing content to clients. Increasing video scaling ratios and advanced digital signal processing techniques have led to Internet Video-on-Demand applications, but these currently lack efficiency and quality. Scalable Video on Demand: Adaptive Internet-based Distribution examines how current video compression and streaming can be used to deliver high-quality applications over the Internet. In addition to analysing the problems of client heterogeneity and the absence of Quality of Service in the Internet, this book: assesses existing products and encoding formats; presents new algorithms and protocols for optimised on-line video streaming architectures; includes real-world application examples and experiments; sets out a practical ‘toolkit’ for Dynamically Reconfigurable Multimedia Distribution Systems. Written by an expert in the field of video distribution, Scalable Video on Demand: Adaptive Internet-based Distribution provides a novel approach to the design and implementation of Video-on-Demand systems for Software Engineers and researchers. It will also be useful for graduate students following Electronic Engineering and Computer Science courses.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this jOint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 40 (thesis year 1995) a total of 10,746 thesis titles from 19 Canadian and 144 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 40 reports theses submitted in 1995, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Download or read book Scalable Continuous Media Streaming Systems written by Jack Lee and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuous media streaming systems will shape the future of information infrastructure. The challenge is to design systems and networks capable of supporting millions of concurrent users. Key to this is the integration of fault-tolerant mechanisms to prevent individual component failures from disrupting systems operations. These are just some of the hurdles that need to be overcome before large-scale continuous media services such as video-on-demand can be deployed with maximum efficiency. The author places the subject in context, drawing together findings from the past decade of research whilst examining the technology’s present status and its future potential. The approach adopted is comprehensive, covering topics – notably the scalability and fault-tolerance issues - that previously have not been treated in depth. Provides an accessible introduction to the technology, presenting the basic principles for media streaming system design, focusing on the need for the correct and timely delivery of data. Explores the use of parallel server architectures to tackle the two key challenges of scalability and fault-tolerance. Investigates the use of network multicast streaming algorithms to further increase the scalability of very-large-scale media streaming systems. Illustrates all findings using real-world examples and case studies gleaned from cutting-edge worldwide research. Combining theory and practice, this book will appeal to industry specialists working in content distribution in general and continuous media streaming in particular. The introductory materials and basic building blocks complemented by amply illustrated, more advanced coverage provide essential reading for senior undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in these fields.

Download or read book A Distributed Network Architecture for Video-on-demand written by Ge Dai and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this thesis is to design a distributed network architecture that provides video - on - demand services to public subscribers. This architecture is proposed as an alternative to a centralized video service system. The latter system is currently being developed by Oracle Corporation and NCube Corporation. A simulator is developed to compare the performance of both the distributed and centralized video server architectures. Moreover, an estimate of the cost of both systems is derived using current price data. It is shown that the distributed video server architecture offers a better cost / performance trade-off than the centralized system. In addition, the distributed system can be scaled up in an incremental fashion to increase the system capacity and throughput. Finally, the distributed system is a more robust system: in the presence of component failure, it can be configured to isolate or bypass failed components. Thus, it allows for graceful performance degradation, which is difficult to achieve in a centralized system.
