NetMedia: A Client-Server Distributed Multimedia Database Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Advances in multimedia computing technologies offer new approaches to support on-line accesses to information from a variety of sources such as video clips, audio, images, and books. A client-server distributed multimedia system would be a practical approach to support such functionalities. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a client-server distributed multimedia database environment that can be used to support large digital libraries. System architecture and design are described. Server functionalities, including client scheduling, data buffering and admission control, are investigated. A client request can only be admitted if both the quality-of-service (QoS) requirements from the client and the upper bound on total buffer consumption at the server are maintained.

Database outsourcing is an idea to eliminate the burden of database management from organizations. Since data is a critical asset of organizations, preserving its privacy from outside adversary and untrusted server should be warranted. In this paper, we present a distributed scheme based on storing shares of data on different servers and separating indexes from data on a distinct server. Shamir...

This work describes a simulation study of client-server architectures, and a UNIX-based le system with multimedia extensions. An interactive multime-dia workload is used to compare the throughput and scalability of the traditional and a new hybrid client-server architecture. Simulation results indicate that the hybrid client-server, combined with the multime-dia le system, is a promising distri...
