A Distributed Object Oriented Approach for Parallel VOD Systems 1,2

Abstract. This paper describes a Distributed Object Oriented approach for VOD systems. We discuss the architectural organization of video server, and we propose a new architecture called Split-Proxy. The handling of video streams through the use of an OODBMS is then described. Finally, experimental results to evaluate the performance of the proposed solution are shown and commented.
