QoS Negotiation and Resource Reservation for Distributed Multimedia Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Distributed multimedia applications require negotiation of quality of service (QoS) and resource reservation for distributed application components and communication links. Negotiation of QoS for an application session is a balancing process between the QoS specified by a client, the resource capabilities of the distributed system and the functional capabilities of the distributed application. Negotiation requires application level QoS descriptions and an end-toend view spanning the whole distributed application. XNRP, introduced in this paper, is a protocol meeting these requirements. XNRP performs negotiation based on client specified QoS value ranges and is independent of application level QoS semantics. It allows QoS negotiation and resource reservation in three phases and supports arbitrarily interconnected flowgraphs of application components.

A Negotiation and Resource Reservation Protocol (NRP) for Distributed Multimedia Applications
Distributed multimedia applications require negotiation of quality of service (QoS) and resource reservation for distributed application parts and communication links. Negotiation of QoS is a balancing process between the QoS specified by a client, the resource availabilities of the distributed system and the functional capabilities of the distributed application. Negotiation requires applicati...
متن کاملQoS-aware resource management for distributed multimedia applications^{1}
The ability of operating system and network infrastructure to provide end-to-end quality of service (QoS) guarantees in multimedia is a major acceptance factor for various distributed multimedia applications due to the temporal audio-visual and sensory information in these applications. Our constraints on the end-to-end guarantees are (1) QoS should be achieved on a general-purpose platform wit...

متن کاملA Mobile Agent Infrastructure for QoS Negotiation of Adaptive Distributed Applications
QoS-aware distributed applications such as certain Multimedia and Ubiquitous Computing applications can benefit greatly from the provision of QoS guarantees from the underlying system and middleware infrastructure. They must avoid execution glitches that affect the user’s perception of the application output. Most research in QoS support for distributed systems focuses on three aspects of QoS m...
متن کاملEnhanced Processor Budget for QoS Management in Multimedia Systems
Resource reservation and QoS negotiation is a common way to guarantee timely progress of programs in distributed multimedia systems. For this, determining the available resource capacity, resource budget, is important. The resource budget depends on resource characteristics (e.g., processor, memory, disk, and network bandwidth) and scheduling algorithms. This paper provides an improved processo...
