In this paper, we propose using the network-attached disk (NAD) architecture to design highly scalable and cost-effective multimedia-on-demand (MOD) servers. In order to ensure en...
Abstract. The continuous media applications have an implied temporal dimension, i.e. they are presented at a particular rate for a particular length of time and if the required rat...
Multimedia presentation systems require flexible support for the modeling of multimedia content models. Many presentation systems provide the synchronized, sequential or concurren...
This paper develops simple cost models for provisioning content distribution networks that use the simple and highly scalable bandwidth skimming protocol for streaming. New insight...
