This paper presents dynamic QOS control schemes based on real-time threads. A real-time
thread is based on an explicit declaration of timing attributes, such as start time, deadline …

In an interactive multimedia environment that handles multiple sessions dynamically, a
mechanism to control QOS among sessions is very important. As such a mechanism, the …

A QOS control is one of the most important factors in continuous media applications. The
QOS levels of the applications should be maintained even if several continuous media …

We propose a method for fine grain QoS control of real-time applications. The method allows
adapting the overall system behavior by adequately setting the quality level parameters of its …

There is an emerging set of research operating systems that provide specialized support for
continuous media and other soft real-time applications. A number of these systems provide …

The paper proposes a dynamic QOS control scheme using a processor reservation system.
In our scheme, a system allocates processor capacity for each application, then the …

We describe a framework for providing quality-of-service guarantees within the endsystem
for networked multimedia applications. Our framework integrates four components namely …

Currently, popular operating systems are unable to support the end-to-end real-time
requirements of distributed continuous media. Furthermore, the integration of continuous …

The advent of performance-critical services such as online brokerage and e-commerce, as
well as QoS-sensitive services such as streaming multimedia, makes existing FIFO servers …

Abstract QoS (Quality of Service), which defines service quality such as latency, availability,
timeliness and reliability, is important for web applications that provide real-time information …
