Abstract

Video processing in software is often characterized byhighly fluctuating, content-dependent processing times, anda limited tolerance for deadline misses. We present anapproach that allows close-to-average-case resource allocationto a single video processing task, based on asynchronous,scalable processing, and QoS adaptation. TheQoS adaptation balances different QoS parameters that canbe tuned by user-perception experiments: picture quality,deadline misses, and quality changes. We model the balancingproblem as a discrete stochastic decision problem, andpropose two closely related solution strategies, for whichthe processing-time statistics are determined off line and atrun time, respectively. We enhance both strategies with acompensation for structural (non-stochastic) load fluctuations.Finally, we validate our approach by means of simulationexperiments, and conclude that both enhanced strategiesperform close to the theoretical optimum.

Specification, Mapping and Control for QoS Adaptation

In this paper we describe a fuzzy-control approach for quality of service (QoS) adaptation, needed in distributed multimedia applications. QoS adaptation is necessary (a) due to sudden variations in network resource availability, especially in the case ...
Video multicasting in an autonomic future internet with essentially-perfect throughput and QoS guarantees
NEW2AN'11/ruSMART'11: Proceedings of the 11th international conference and 4th international conference on Smart spaces and next generation wired/wireless networking

A framework for an Autonomic Future Internet which supports 2 services classes, the Essentially-Perfect QoS (QoS) class and the Best-Effort (BE) class, is proposed. All provisioned traffic flows in the QoS class can achieve 100% throughput and ...
