Resource management for media processing in networked embedded systems : proceedings of a one-day workshop, Eindhoven, March 31, 2005

In this article we provide a model for the dynamic behavior of a single video streaming chain, by formulating a theorem describing the stable behavior. This stable behavior is characterized in terms of the elementary actions of the components in the chain, from which standard performance measures (such as activation time, response time and resource utilization) follow. From this we derive corollaries, which give guidelines for the design of the chain, while targeting optimization of resource utilization and minimizing context-switching overhead.
