Abstract :
Mobile computing and multimedia are two emerging trends in computer systems. One foreseeable application suggested by these two trends is the playback of stored video on both mobile devices and conventional workstations. A system supporting such an application must provide performance-guaranteed delivery of video data to different types of clients, some of which may be mobile. In this paper, we address some of the issues involved in supporting such an application, namely the efficient layout of multiple representations of video data on a file server and network support for host mobility
