본 논문에서는 클러스터에 기반한 주문형 비디오 (VOD: Video On Demand) 시스템에서의 QoS (Quality of Service) 아키텍처를 제안한다. 제안하는 QoS 아키텍처는 IP 네트웍상에서 사용자에게 다양한 서비스 질의 선택과, 선택한 질의 보장을 제공하며, 클러스트 시스템의 자원관리를 통해 서버의 효율을 극대화 시킨다. 클러스터 VOD 시스템의 QoS 아키텍처는 사용자 요구의 협상을 위한 Weighted Price 함수와 요구분배 기법인 Max-min 함수를 이용하여 사용자에게 제공하는 QoS의 수준을 높여주고, 저장 서버들간의 부하균등을 통해 효율성을 높인다. QoS 아키텍처 내의 핵심 모듈인 QoS Mapper와 QoS Manager의 성능을 확인 하는 실험을 통하여 사용자에게 서비스되는 QoS 수준이 증가하였음을 확인할 수가 있었고, 저장서버들간의 부하를 효과적으로 분산시켜 VOD 시스템의 동시 사용자수를 증가 시키고, 안정적인 서비스를 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The paper presents a novel embedded multifunctional media sever (EMMS) for mobile devices to receive various media programs. Being different from other contemporary system research, the paper mainly studies how to design a reception solution for terrestrial digital television (DTV) on mobile devices and how to enable mobile devices can receive DTV program, enjoy video-on-demand (VOD), achieve video surveillance and relay Internet video program via local Wi-Fi simultaneously. In the system design, we integrate broadcasting-terrestrial DTV tuner, streaming media re-transmission system, VOD disk, video camera and access interface to the Internet into EMMS, which can either receive terrestrial DTV radio signals and demodulate out digital transport stream (TS), or can read streaming media bit-stream from VOD disk, surveillance camera or access interface to the Internet. The experimental results show the proposed system is stable and quality-efficient. Comparing with the other systems, the proposed system has the least packet loss rate and response time.

This paper investigated main determinants of paid-VOD user satisfaction and re-purchasing intention in IPTV platform. The findings showed that 'perceived system quality' was the significant antecedent variable influencing 'perceived usefulness' and 'perceived cost'. Meanwhile, 'perceived content quality' had the insignificant effect on 'perceived cost, while strongly and positively affecting 'perceived playfulness'. Regarding the relative size effect on the relationship between the belief variables and re-purchasing intention, content quality, cost, usefulness and playfulness were higher in the order, implying that functional benefits, like price and quality is the most crucial factor facilitating re-purchasing paid-VOD. Likewise, several variables associated with user characteristics and situation were employed as moderating variables to examine their impact on the process of formation of belief, satisfaction and intention. We found that there were distinct differences in value cognition and satisfaction level among users, depending on IPTV acceptance period, paid-VOD purchasing frequency, age and income level.

A Viedo-on-Demand(VOD) service is a multimedia service that is realized by the rapid advance of computer and data communication techmologies. Basically, a VOD system is composed of a server and a number fo clients.The server stores and manages a large amount of digital moving picture data. Each slient sends an on-line requwet to the server and receives data for real-time displying. Many researches are performed on a VOD server using hard disks for the permanent video fata storage. However, a hard disk is less reliable and requires more storage cost than a massive storage device. Due to these resasons, a multi-level VOD system is proposed for using teh jukeboxes of optical disks as the permanent video storage,device. In this paper, we prpose the necessary software modules and protocols between the server and its clients for the implementation of the multi-level VOD server.

The main bottleneck for large scale VOD systems is bandwidth of storage or network I/O due to the large number of client requests simultaneously, and then efficient techniques are required to solve the bottleneck problem of the VOD system. Patching is one of the most efficient techniques to overcome the bottleneck of the VOD system through the use of multicast scheme. In this paper, we propose a new patching scheme, called P2P proxy patching, for improving the typical patching technique by jointly using the prefix caching and P2P proxy. In our proposed scheme, each client plays a role in a proxy to multicast a regular stream to other clients that request the same video stream. Due to the use of the P2P proxy and the prefix caching, the client requests that ive out of the patching window range can receive the regular stream from other clients in the previous patching group without allocating the new regular channels from the VOD server to the clients. In the performance study, we show that our patching scheme can reduce the server bandwidth requirement about $33\%$ less than that of the existing patching technique with respect to prefix size and request interval.

In this paper, a new program recommendation system is proposed to recommend user preferred VOD program in IPTV environment. A proposed system is implemented with hybrid filtering method that can cooperatively complements the shortcomings of the content-based filtering and collaborative filtering. For a user program preference, a single-scaled measure is designed so that the recommendation performance between content-based filtering and collaborative filtering is easily compared and reflected to final hybrid filtering procedure. In order to provide more accurate program recommendation, we use not only the user watching history, but also the user program preference and sub-genre program preference updated every week as a user preference profile. System performance is evaluated with modified IPTV data from real 24-weeks cable TV watching data provided by Nilson Research Corp. and it shows quite comparative quality of recommendation.

In this paper, a von system which is based on current computer technologies is implemented. This von system organizes many personal computers in a local network into a configuration server, storage servers, and clients. To provide reliability, the data is stored using software RAID technology. Also, multimedia services are client-based for efficiency. The software components of this von system are the von configuration software, the von configuration service software, the von management software, and the von service software. Only the von service software runs in the client, while all the others run in the configuration server. The operating system on which the configuration server is run is the Windows NT such that the software executes like the UNIX-daemon process in the Windows NT service manager.

In a VOD(Video-On-Demand) system, I/O performance and storage requirements are generally more important than computing capability, Due to the development of CPU tecnology, the gap between the performance of processors and desk speed are widening. Therefore, the disk system typically becomes the bohleneck ina VOD system. In order to allevte those effects from physical constramts, disk array system is used. The I/O performance of disk arrays can be improved by the capability of processors, I/O schefuling polcy, the number of member disks in the array, disk block size, block placemet method etc. In this paper, we considered the disk scheduling schemes including EDF( Earliest Deadine First), SCAN, SGAN-EDF, Round-robm. GSS(Grouped Sweeping scheme), and C-SCAN, LOOK, C-LOOK which are variations of SCAN Mamly focusing on those disk scheduling schemes, we performed the simulation in order to compare and eview the perionmance of disk arrays considening seveial related parameters under diverse environments and analyzed the effects of those parameters to the performance.

This paper proposes and implements consistency algorithm that is serviced streaming data efficiently in VOD system. The media data is loaded into each node by Round Robin method. The barrier mechanism is changed into the minimum data factor(SH, GOP) of media data in this paper. In addition in order to fast media data service, the additional features are implemented in the consistency algorithm. Additional feature of the consistency algorithm is added. First, time synchronization algorithm is added the suggested consistency algorithm. Second, the prepaging mechanism supports efficient buffering service. I experimented the suggested consistency algorithm two DSM systems. The performance is good due to the last barrier algorithm.
