| Research Abstract |
We investigated technologies on video streaming and related issues as follows:
(1) Distributed/hierarchical caching algorithms for video streaming
Classical web caching mechanisms cannot be directly applied to video streaming due to huge size of video data. To overcome this problem, several algorithms were investigated, such as splitting video data into small segments and by introduction of hierarchically located cache servers that cooperate in a distributed manner. Results were presented at international conferences and, with merged with the next topic, submitted to IEICE Transactions (accepted).
(2) Web-friendly streaming caching algorithms
Stream caching technologies should avoid performance degradation of current web caching methods that are widely deployed. We then proposed "web-friendly" stream caching algorithms that exploited statistical characteristics of web objects and streaming objects in a unified manner.
(3) Improvement of caching algorithms for hierarchical image format
Improved caching algorithms for hierarchically represented image data format were investigated. Development replacing/pre-fetching algorithm according to preference statistics and theoretical analysis of the web access model were carried out. Results were presented at international conferences, submitted to IEICE Transactions (accepted), and contributed to the above two topics on video stream caching.
