The book emphasizes dynamic and run-time  strategies for resource scheduling and management. Such strategies  provide effective tools for supporting interactivity with on-line  users who require the system to be responsive in serving their  requests, and whose needs and actions vary frequently over time. \u003cbr\u003e  With an emphasis on responsiveness and transient performance, this  book elaborates on dynamic strategies for managing and scheduling  resources in Video-on-Demand\/Multimedia systems. Unlike previous  books, this volume presents an unprecedented detailed analysis of the  start-up and departure of streams. It gives a comprehensive evaluation  of various techniques as workloads are varied in multiple dimensions  (including arrival rate, data rate and length of play). \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eInteractive Video-on-Demand Systems: Resource Management and\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eScheduling Strategies\u003c\/em\u003e collectively addresses multiple issues  including QoS, throughput, responsiveness and efficiency.
