Continuous media storage systems must provide guaranteed services and require large amount of resource consumption in terms of storage capacity and transmission band-width. In this chapter, we focus on a placement scheme for continuous media storage systems in a multimedia database management system to provide the load balance of disks uniformly. In particular, we consider complete control over...
