Method and System for Resource Scheduling Composite Multimedia Objects
A system for the effective resource scheduling of composite multimedia objects involves a sequence packing formulation of the composite object scheduling problem and associated efficient algorithms using techniques from pattern matching and multiprocessor scheduling. An associated method of scheduling the provision of composite multimedia objects, each comprising one or more continuous media streams of audio data, video data and other data, where the continuous media streams are of varying bandwidth requirement and duration comprise the steps of; generating composite multimedia objects from the continuous media streams and determining a run-length compressed form for each of the generated composite multimedia objects.
