Scheduling web requests in broadcast environments

Published: 19 May 2004 Publication History

Abstract

On-demand broadcast has been supported in the Internet to enhance system scalability. Unfortunately, most of existing on-demand scheduling algorithms did not consider the time constraints associated with web requests. This paper proposes a novel scheduling algorithm, called Slack Inverse Number of requests (SIN), that takes into account the urgency and productivity of serving pending requests. Trace-driven experiments demonstrate that SIN significantly out performs existing algorithms over a wide range of workloads.
