Abstract
Databases were introduced to remove redundancy from conventional file systems and encouragesharing, which resulted in update anomalies when information was modified. With presentations (movies) sharing clips (sequence of frames), continuous display becomes challenging as well. Continuous display requires the system to retrieve the information with no disruptions or delays (hiccups) once a display is initiated. To ensure a continuous display using a multi-disk hardware platform, a video object is striped into subobjects. The system enforces a regular schedule on retrieval of each subobject by controlling the placement of the subobjects across the disks. Now if different presentations share subobjects, each presentation will enforce its own restrictions on the placement of the data, resulting in an irregular schedule. We investigate approaches to render a schedule regular for two alternative display paradigms: Demand and Data driven.
