Abstract: "We study the allocation of movies in certain distributed video-on-demand system that provide movies at will to users from a number of geographically scared video servers. Each user is associated to one of the servers (the local server), but it can still watch transparently any movie located at any server. In our study, we take into consideration the user demand for the movies, the storage limitation of the video servers, and the communication cost experienced (to the service provider) for movies located remotely with respect to the users watching them. We introduce models and terminology for mesh and hierarchical distribution networks. Also, for some simple, non-trivial system, we proposed solutions regarding to the number of copies of movies and their storage location that minimizes the communication cost."

With the advent of digital media, implementing reliable Video on Demand (VoD) systems over the best effort Internet is a potential issue. Distributed streaming for Video on Demand presents a combination of two techniques. The first being Distributed Video Streaming using Multicast (DVSM) [1] involves video streaming from multiple servers to overcome path congestion. The second technique, Asynchronous Hybrid mechanism for Video on Demand [2] implements segmentation-based periodic broadcast to effectively share network bandwidth. In this work we aim at providing path diversity of multiple senders and maximizing bandwidth sharing via multicast. We exploit alternate paths in case of congestion on a path while streaming segments of video. Distributed Streaming for Video on Demand uses similar algorithms as in DVSM and extends them to incorporate the segmentation-based periodic broadcast technique in Asynchronous VoD. Due to segmentation-based multicast and patching the system can provide low access latencies for requests arriving in an ad hoc manner. This work introduces a robust Distributed Video on Demand Architecture by proposing modifications to the algorithms and mathematical relations in the base techniques.

In recent years, the proliferation of available video content and the popularity of the Internet have encouraged service providers to develop new ways of distributing content to clients. Increasing video scaling ratios and advanced digital signal processing techniques have led to Internet Video-on-Demand applications, but these currently lack efficiency and quality. Scalable Video on Demand: Adaptive Internet-based Distribution examines how current video compression and streaming can be used to deliver high-quality applications over the Internet. In addition to analysing the problems of client heterogeneity and the absence of Quality of Service in the Internet, this book: assesses existing products and encoding formats; presents new algorithms and protocols for optimised on-line video streaming architectures; includes real-world application examples and experiments; sets out a practical ‘toolkit’ for Dynamically Reconfigurable Multimedia Distribution Systems. Written by an expert in the field of video distribution, Scalable Video on Demand: Adaptive Internet-based Distribution provides a novel approach to the design and implementation of Video-on-Demand systems for Software Engineers and researchers. It will also be useful for graduate students following Electronic Engineering and Computer Science courses.

In the last few years we have observed an explosive growth of multimedia computing, communication and applications. This revolution is transforming the way people live, work, and interact with each other, and is impacting the way business, government services, education, entertainment and healthcare are operating. Yet, several issues related to modeling, specification, analysis and design of distributed multimedia database systems and multimedia information retrieval are still challenging to both researchers and praclitioners. Distributed Multimedia Databases: Techniques and Applications points out these challenges and provides valuable suggestions toward the necessary solutions, by focusing on multimedia database techniques.
