DISTRIBUTED MULTIMEDIA RETRIEVAL STRATEGIES FOR LARGE SCALE NETWORKED SYSTEMS By Bharadwaj Veeravalli,Gerassimos Barlas
Preface
Ueriving entertainment and availing a variety of multimedia services via home-computers/laptops or mobile devices, have become commonplace for Internet users in this modern era. Growing high-speed networking technology coupled with the development of ultra-speed multimedia high-end machines facilitates the notion of rendering such media services at attractive costs. Network based multimedia services attempt to render best effort services at cheaper prices. For instance, a video rental store allows users to rent video cassettes, CDs/DVDs at a fixed price. In contrast, a networked multimedia service (NMS) allows a user to surf through a range of collections and obtain the desired content, without having to satisfy timing, or physical location restrictions. Furthermore, a user need not even be confined to a specific location, but could be roaming with a mobile device. Modern Video/Movie-on-Demand (V/MoD) services even allow complete interactivity by supporting functionality that includes variable-speed playback, fast-forward/backward, etc.
