9409666 Vin Recent advances in computing, networking, and storage technologies promise to create an infrastructure in which computer systems will support a wide range of multimedia services through interactive multimedia servers distributed over highspeed networks. The main objective of the research is to synthesize cost-effective system architectures for designing such multimedia servers by developing: (1) efficient disk scheduling algorithms which minimize the average access time to media blocks from disk, (2) novel admission control algorithms that a multimedia server can employ to maximize the number of clients being serviced simultaneously while assuring the quality of service requirements of none of the clients are violated, and (3) algorithms for efficient placement (including replication and distribution as desirable) of multiresolution multimedia objects of disk arrays. Algorithms and protocols that are found to be promising will be implemented and evaluated in a prototype distributed multimedia storage server. ***

9409666 Vin计算、网络和存储技术的最新进展有希望创造一种基础设施，在这种基础设施中，计算机系统将通过分布在高速网络上的交互式多媒体服务器来支持范围广泛的多媒体服务。本研究的主要目标是通过开发：(1)有效的磁盘调度算法，使磁盘对媒体块的平均访问时间最小化；(2)多媒体服务器可以采用的新颖的允许控制算法，以最大限度地增加同时服务的客户端数量，同时确保不违反任何客户端的服务质量要求；(3)有效放置（包括复制和分发）磁盘阵列的多分辨率多媒体对象的算法。将在分布式多媒体存储服务器原型中实现和评估有前途的算法和协议。＊＊＊
