Abstract

Due to the vast amount of video available in the Internet new access patterns emerge. Users do not always want to watch all of the content sequentially - such as in a movie - but want to pick specific parts, which are interesting for them. Based on a model of small and semantically meaningful and active video units, we derive an artificial hormone replication system that provides the flexibility for non-sequential access of units. We evaluate our model by simulation and compare it to a reference system. We show that simple local decisions contribute to global properties such as delay and robustness. We further introduce a clean-up function, which leads to adaptive management of the number of replicas.
