Recently, as the quality of multimedia data gets higher, multimedia servers require larger storage capacity and higher I/O bandwidth. In these large scale multimedia servers, the load-unbalance problem among disks due to the difference in access frequencies to multimedia objects according to their popularities significantly affects the system performance. To address this problem, many data replication schemes have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a novel data migration/replication scheme to provide better storage efficiency and performance than the dynamic data replication scheme which is typical data replication scheme employed in multimedia servers. This scheme can reduce the additional storage space required for replication, which is a major defect of replication schemes, by decreasing the number of copies per object. The scheme can also increase the number of concurrent users by increasing the caching effect due to the reduced lengths of the intervals among requests for each object.

A default server strategy is a very popular scheme for managing location and state information of mobile hosts in cellular networks. But the communication cost increases if the call requests are frequent and the distant between the default server and the client is long. Still more any connection to a mobile host cannot be established when the default server of the destination mobile host fails. These problems can be solved by replicating default server and by letting nearest replicated default server process the query request which is sent from a client. It is important to allocate replicated default servers efficiently in networks and determine the number of replicated default servers. In this paper, we suggest and evaluate a default server replication strategy to reduce communication costs and to improve service availabilities. Furthermore we propose and evaluate an optimized allocation algorithm and an optimal replication degree for replicating: dofault servers in nn grid networks and binary tree networks.

This paper presents a partially decentralized passive replication algorithm for deterministic servers in message-passing distributed systems. The algorithm allows any backup server, not necessarily the primary server, to take responsibility for processing its received client request and coordinating with the other replica servers after obtaining the delivery sequence number of the request from the primary. Thanks to thus desirable feature, the algorithm with conventional load balancing techniques can efficiently avoid extreme load conditions on the primary. Therefore, it can provide better scalability of deterministic and replicated sewer systems than traditional passive replication algorithms. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm can reduce $16.5\%{\~}52.3\%$ of the average response time of a client request compared with the traditional ones.

본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 어플리케이션의 핵심인 오디오나 비디오와 같은 연속 미디어에서 hiccup의 발생을 최소화시키기 위한 기존의 연속 디스플레이, replication, request migration을 소개하고, 슬롯 예약 알고리즘과 완전 연결 버퍼링 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 두 알고리즘은 기존의 partial replication과 request migration에서 일어나는 hiccup 발생과, startup latency를 슬롯 예약과 디스크와 버퍼간의 완전 연결을 이용하여 최소화하였다. 향후 제안된 알고리즘은 구체적인 통계적 모델을 제시하여 다양한 재생 요구 빈도수에 따른 검증이 필요하다.

In cluster file systems, the availability of files has been supported by replicating entire files or generating parities on parity servers. However, those methods require very large temporal and spatial cost, and cannot handle massive failures situation on the file system. So we propose HA-PVFS, a cluster file system supporting high data availability adaptive to temporal locality. HA-PVFS restricts replication or parity generation to some important files, for that it employs an efficient algorithm to estimate file access patterns from limited information. Moreover, in order to minimize the performance degradation of the file system, it uses delayed update method and relay replication.

In order to solve the overload of academic affairs management system, we propose a method builds a distributed Replication server and uses this server with the present centralized system. Normal query transactions which are not required for data modification are composed of almost all DML sentences. So we construct the distributed replication servers according to the data characteristics and make them perform the query transaction without modification. In this way, we can simultaneously distribute users and data, and cut down processing time for every transaction. Also Replication server has the advantages of implemental efficiency and economical because it uses resources of present centralized system without and additional configurations. Usually, to distribute the overload of server, they can use way, Client-side overload distribution that user program get present overload status then can choose a less overloaded server, and the other way, Server-side overload distribution that make use of Application Layer Scheduling Technique and IP Layer Scheduling Technique. Our Replication server can reduce the overload of centralized system by eliminating or complementing those defects of overload distribution, referred to in the forehead.

본 논문에서는 연속 미디어에 있어서의 hiccup-free 디스플레이, startup latency와 많은 관련이 있는 데이터 배치 방법 및 startup latency를 줄이기 위한 복제 기술(완전복제, 선택복제, 부분복제)을 검토하고 그중 부분복제 기술에 있어서 그룹에 비어있는 슬롯이 없는 경우 request migration이 불가능하여 hiccup이 발생할 수 있는 경우에 그룹의 슬롯을 예약함으로써 hiccup을 줄인 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이 슬롯 예약 알고리즘은 시스템의 처리율은 다소 줄었지만 hiccup-free 디스플레이가 가능하도록 하였다.

본 논문에서는 비디오 서버의 startup latency를 줄이기 위한 replication 기술 및VCR 기능을 지원하기 위한 기술의 개요에 대해서 설명하고 VCR 기능을 지원하기 위해XPRS 파일에서 SR을 응용한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이 알고리즘은 XPRS 파일에서 액세스 빈도에 따라 블록의 수를 다르게 하는 알고리즘으로 VOD 서비스의 효용성을 높여줄 수 있는 VCR 기능을 효율적으로 지원할 수 있다. 또한 SR과 SR 응용 알고리즘을 이용하여 시스템의 성능을 최적화할 수 있는 재구성 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘은 블록 skipping 기술을 지원하지 않기 때문에 향후 이 기술과 연계한 연구가 지속적으로 요구된다.

최근 웹 서비스에서 동적 콘텐츠의 비율이 증가함에 따라 캐처 적중률을 높임으로써 서버 CPU의 부하를 줄이는 일의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 서버의 성능을 증가시키기 위한 방법으로 콘텐츠 복제 서버 클러스터가 널리 활용되고 있다. 그러나 콘텐츠 복제 서버의 각 노드는 유사한 작업을 수행함에도 탈구하고 서로 독립적으로 동작하므로 캐쉬 적중률이 감소한다. 본 논문에서는 한 서버 노드에서 캐슁하는 웹 콘텐츠를 다른 서버 노드의 캐쉬에 복제함으로써 서버 팜의 각 노드의 캐쉬 내용을 유사하게 관리하여 캐쉬 적중률을 높인다.

Mobile Ad hoc networking is an emerging technology and in these days many applications are being developed to run on these networks. In these networks lookup services are very important because all nodes do not have same resources in term of memory and computing power. Nodes need to use different services offered by different servers. Reliable and efficient scheme should be available for lookup services due to limited bandwidth and low computing power of devices in mobile ad hoc networks. Due to mobility and rapid change in network topology, lookup mechanism used in wired network is not appropriate. Service discovery mechanism can be divided into two main categories Centralized and Distributed. Centralized mechanism is not reliable as there is no central node in these networks. Secondly centralized mechanism leads toward single point failure. We can handle the service discovery mechanism by distributing server's information to each node. But this approach is also not appropriate due to limited bandwidth and rapid change in network. In this paper, we present reliable lookup service scheme which is based on distributed mechanism. We are not using replication approach as well due to low bandwidth of wireless networks. In this scheme service discovery mechanism will be handled through different lookup servers. Reliability is the key feature of our proposed scheme.
