Several application and technology trends indicate that it might be both pro table and feasible to move computation closer to the data that it processes. In this paper, we evaluat...
— A promising approach for ultra high data storage capacities in magnetic hard disk drives is the use of bitpatterned media (BPM) that allows both higher track densities and incr...
Retrieving sequential rich media content from modern commodity disks is a challenging task. As disk capacity increases, there is a need to increase the number of streams that are ...

— Scalable encoding scheme enables the player or streaming server to adaptively change the playback rate of multimedia content. However, in scalable streaming of layer encoded co...
In this paper, we propose using the network-attached disk (NAD) architecture to design highly scalable and cost-effective multimedia-on-demand (MOD) servers. In order to ensure en...
