 Title: Algorithmic Background of the Host Recommendation in the Adaptive Distributed Multimedia Server Authors: Szkaliczki, TiborGoldschmidt, BalázsBöszörmenyi, Laszlo Keywords: Distributed Video ServerHost RecommendationOptimisationFacility Location Problem Issue Date: 2007 Publisher: Institute of Mathematics and Informatics Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Citation: Serdica Journal of Computing, Vol. 1, No 3, (2007), 365p-386p Abstract: In a distributed server architecture an obvious question is where to deploy the components. Host recommendation, which gives the answer, faces problems such as server selection, host deployment and, in case of multimedia servers, video replication. It is especially relevant for the Adaptive Distributed Multimedia Server (ADMS) which is dynamically able to add and remove its components to different nodes of the network. The present survey paper introduces the different variants of host recommendation and gives an overview of its possible mathematical approaches. Emphasis is put on the facility location problem and the related approximation algorithms. Finally some algorithms selected for implementation are presented.
