Abstract

In many business domains, Grids and Service Oriented Architectures are considered to improve application design, integration and execution. In the audiovisual industry, applications are very data-intensive, time-constrained and computationally demanding, and design of a Service Oriented Architecture in this domain is no straightforward task. Efficient resource allocation-especially in terms of network usage-is paramount to meet users' requirements in terms of deadlines and responsiveness, and offer high scalability at the same time. We present a resource- and network-aware management architecture addressing the issues in media environments, incorporating a number of scheduling algorithms and advance reservation systems to ensure efficient resource usage.
