Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊科學學系 === 83 === Recent advances in Cable TV and computer network will allow the network/service/content providers to offer residential custo- mers with video-on-demand services. In this thesis we propose a three-level hierarchical network storage architecture for video- on-demand storage system. In the first-level (Local Service Cen- ter, LSC) a limited number of high vision probability programs are stored; in the second-level (Local Central Service Center, LCSC) a few second high vision probability programs are stored; the third-level (Central Service Center, CSC) contains all pro- grams provided in the system. Based on this architecture and the program vision probability distribution function, we use a mini- mum-cost function to find out the numbers of programs stored in the two service centers( LSC and LCSC) and numbers of links among these three service centers. We also propose a program realloca- tion algorithm according to the change in user request pattern.
