Abstract

Recent technological advances have made multimedia on-demand services, such as home entertainment and home-shopping, important to the consumer market. One of the most challenging aspects of this type of service is providing access either instantaneously or within a small and reasonable latency upon request. In this paper, we discuss a novel approach, termed adaptive piggybacking, which can be used to provide on-demand or nearly-on-demand service and at the same time reduce the I/O demand on the multimedia storage server.
