The successful deployment of next-generation distributed multimedia systems is signi cantly dependent on the e cient management support that improves the performance and the relia...
Multimedia database systems (MMDBSs) have to be capable to handle efficiently time-dependent and timeindependent data, and to support Quality-of-Service (QoS). To support continuo...
The growth in complexity of modern systems makes it increasingly difficult to extract high-performance. The software stacks for such systems typically consist of multiple layers a...
Thermal/power issues have become increasingly important with more and more transistors being put on a single chip. Many dynamic thermal/power management techniques have been propo...
The characterising new requirement for distributed multimedia applications is the coexistence of dynamic real-time and non-real-time applications on hosts and networks. While some...
