In this paper, we define and formulate various policies for load management in distributed video servers. We propose a predictive placement policy that determines the degree of replication necessary for popular videos using a cost-based optimization procedure based on a priori predictions of expected subscriber requests. For scheduling requests, we propose an adaptive scheduling policy that com...

Bandwidth smoothing techniques for stored video perform end to end workahead transmission of frames into the client playback buffer, in advance of their display times. Such techniques are very effective in reducing the burstiness of the bandwidth requirements for transmitting compressed, stored video. This paper addresses online bandwidth smoothing for a growing number of streaming video applic...

The current generation of mobile clients have incessant demand for services. Providing Video-on-Demand (VoD) services to these clients require a new paradigm. This paper presents an architecture for Mobile Video-on-Demand. Several schemes that reduces the load on the video server, thereby increasing the number of requests that need to be served is proposed. The Distributed Indexing reduces the ...

The V3 Video Server is a demonstration showing a multimedia application developed on top of the VODAK database management system. VODAK is a prototype of an object-oriented and distributed database management system (DBMS) developed at GMDIPSI. The V3 Video Server allows a user to interactively store, retrieve, manipulate, and present analog and short digital video clips. A video clip consists ...
