Two recent techniques for multicast or broadcast delivery of streaming media can provide
immediate service to each client request, yet achieve considerable client stream sharing …

Patching has been shown to be cost efficient for video-on-demand systems. Unlike
conventional multicast, patching is a dynamic multicast scheme which enables a new …

This paper proposes a new technique for on-demand delivery of streaming media. The idea
is to hold in reserve, orskim', a portion of the client reception bandwidth that is sufficiently …

A multimedia system needs a mechanism to communicate with its environment, the Internet,
clients, and applications. MPEG-7 provides a standard metadata format for global …

Technology has spurred the growth of huge image and video libraries, many growing into
the hundreds of terabytes. As a result there is a great demand among organizations for the …

Stream merging is a technique for efficiently delivering popular media-on-demand using
multicast and client buffers. Recently, several algorithms for stream merging have been …

Patching is a cost efficient channel-sharing technique for video-on-demand systems.
However, its performance is limited due to the fact that a video stream cannot be shared …

Proxy caching is a key technique to reduce transmission cost for on-demand multimedia
streaming. The effectiveness of current caching schemes, however, is limited by the …

The access patterns of most information systems follow the 80/20 rules. That is, 80% of the
requests are for 20% of the data. A video server can take advantage of this property by …
