Abstract

Application streaming is a deployment method of the software management, which is efficient in terms of time and space. However, there are difficult issues on dealing with streaming that replaces downloading, installation and execution of application programs. Application on-demand (AoD) streaming replies upon a copy-on-reference distributed virtual block system and virtualization of file, registry and others on the operating system level. The AoD system should be implemented without modifying operating system kernel and application codes to be streamed. Also it should be guaranteed that its performance is comparable to that of running the software locally installed. This paper presents a modeling of AoD based on copy-on-reference and pre-fetching based streaming to achieve concurrency between computation and communication.
