We develop a unified model of a hierarchical video-on-demand (VoD) system by integrating
the storage and the network subsystems. Rather than restricting the analysis to an isolated …

The next generation of distributed digital video-on-demand (VoD) systems will use
admission control tests to ensure that users receive predictable and guaranteed service. If …

To design a cost effective VOD server, it is important to carefully manage the system
resources so that the number of concurrent viewers can be maximized. Previous research …

This paper addresses the resource management problem in a distributed video-on-demand
(VOD) system. The objective of resource management is to manage video objects in a VOD …

We consider a theoretical framework for performing admission control in a video-on-demand
(VOD) system. Unlike previous work on the admission control on a VOD system guaranteed …

The focus of the research presented in this paper is the end-to-end analysis of a distributed
Video-on-Demand (VoD) system. We analyze the distributed architecture of a VoD system to …

Because of the large volume of data involved in the process and stringent continuity and real-
time constraints, a video-on-demand (VOD) system demands novel schemes for scheduling …

A VOD server has to employ admission control algorithms to decide whether a new client
(request) can be admitted without violating the requirements of clients who are already …

Video on demand (VOD) is a system that provides a service to users to browse and watch
videos within a computer network. One of the most challenging aspects in such system is to …

In this paper we provide an end-to-end analysis of a distributed Video-on-Demand system
consisting of a hierarchy of server clusters and networks. We develop an analytical …
