DynaVideo: a dynamic video distribution service

Most solutions proposed to implement audio and video distribution services have been designed for specific infrastructures or have been tailored to specific application requirements, such as stream and clients types which will be supported by the service. Other important aspect in this context is that the performance of distributed services is becoming increasingly variable due to changing load patterns and user mobility. This paper presents the Dynamic Video Distribution Service - DynaVideo. The service may be designed to distribute video in a way that is independent of the video format and to interact with different types of clients. The main feature of DynaVideo is the ability to configure the service dynamically to a specific demand.
