Replication for a Distributed Multimedia System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Replicating data and services at multiple networked computers increases the service availability of distributed systems. This paper presents the design and implementation architecture of a replication mechanism for a distributed multimedia system medianode which is currently developed as an infrastructure to share multimedia-enhanced teaching materials among lecture groups. With the replica-tion mechanism, medianode provides enhanced access to presentation materials in both connected and disconnected operation modes. The main contribution of this paper is the identification of new replication requirements in distributed media systems and a multicast-based update propagation mechanism by which not only the update events are signaled, but also the updated data are exchanged between replication managers.

A Survey of Dynamic Replication Strategies for Improving Response Time in Data Grid Environment
Large-scale data management is a critical problem in a distributed system such as cloud,P2P system, World Wide Web (WWW), and Data Grid. One of the effective solutions is data replicationtechnique, which efficiently reduces the cost of communication and improves the data reliability andresponse time. Various replication methods can be proposed depending on when, where, and howreplicas are gener...

Abstract— High-performance computing and vast storage are two key factors required for executing data-intensive applications. In comparison with traditional distributed systems like data grid, cloud computing provides these factors in a more affordable, scalable and elastic platform. Furthermore, accessing data files is critical for performing such applications. Sometimes accessing data becomes...
متن کاملReplication strategies for peer-to-peer based multimedia distribution service
Peer-to-peer based multimedia distribution service draws great attention in recent years. In order to improve system performance and provide high service availability, we propose a hierarchy replication strategy based on the topology-aware overlay, which can achieve the scalable and QoS-awareness. Specifically, we propose two distributed heuristic replication strategies: inter-group replication...
متن کاملDynamic Replication based on Firefly Algorithm in Data Grid
In data grid, using reservation is accepted to provide scheduling and service quality. Users need to have an access to the stored data in geographical environment, which can be solved by using replication, and an action taken to reach certainty. As a result, users are directed toward the nearest version to access information. The most important point is to know in which sites and distributed sy...
