Models for video-on-demand scheduling with costs

Video-on-demand, which provides digital content as needed, supplies flexibility for the users but presents reactive challenges for the provider, as the peaks and troughs in demand lead to an inconsistent requirement of resources. The cost of keeping servers primed for demand that may not appear must...

description Video-on-demand, which provides digital content as needed, supplies flexibility for the users but presents reactive challenges for the provider, as the peaks and troughs in demand lead to an inconsistent requirement of resources.
