Synopsis
Resource Management for Distributed Multimedia Systems addresses the problems and challenges of handling several continuous- media data streams in networked multimedia environments. The work demonstrates how resource management mechanisms can be integrated into a stream handling system. The resulting system includes functions for Quality of Service (QoS) calculations, scheduling, determination of resource requirements, and methods to reduce resource requirements. The work explains the following:
- a suitable system architecture and resource management scheme that allows for the provision and enforcement of QoS guarantee,
- resource scheduling mechanisms for CPU and buffer space,
- mechanisms to measure and collect resource requirements,
- methods to extend resource management to future scenarios by allowing the reservation of resources in advance and offering sealing mechanisms.
Resource Management for Distributed Multimedia Systems is a comprehensive view of resource management for a broad technical audience that includes computer scientists and engineers involved in developing multimedia applications.
Booknews
Shows how resource management mechanisms can be integrated into a stream handling architecture to provide a system environment offering the emerging multimedia applications the quality of service they require. Describes the criteria for an architecture and resource management scheme, the development of resource scheduling mechanisms and buffer space, designing mechanisms to measure and collect resource requirements, analyzing mechanisms to reduce overall resource requirements, and methods for extending resource management to future scenarios.
