Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents an analysis and configuration method for video-on-demand services. This kind of services make use of an important number of resources, and their contents have important production costs. To maintain a good quality of service and at the same time, to make a profit for the content provider, the services must have the best configuration possible. The configuration process must be based on an accurate service behavioural analysis which evaluates the quality and the quantity of resources, contents and subscribers. This analysis can be performed using monitoring information, which can be provided by several entities, and predictions of a near future behaviour established by managers. To formalize both analysis and configuration, a method must be developed in order to help the service managers attain a good performance and at the same time, make a profit for their companies. Other elements such as data sources, input data and initial configuration should also be included. Moreover, the method is prepared to be extensible and to be able to adapt itself to new configuration possibilities, data, analyses or goals. |
