  • Conference paper
Book cover Parallel and Distributed Processing and Applications (ISPA 2004)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 3358))

Abstract

Realcourse is a video stream service supported by a collection of physical servers distributed all over China. This article provides a comprehensive description on the model, architecture, and operation mechanism behind realcourse. In particular, the highly-availability feature and dynamic re-configurability is emphasized.

This work is supported by ChinaGrid project and 973 grant (G1999032706).
