On the storage and retrieval of continuous media data
Banu Özden, Rajeev R. Rastogi, Avi Silberschatz · 1994
Continuous media applications, which require a guaranteed transfer rate of the data, are becoming an integral part of daily computational life. However, conventional file systems do not provide rate guarantees, and are therefore not suitable for the storage and retrieval of continuous media data (e.g., audio, video). To meet the demands of these new applications, continuous media file systems, which provide rate guarantees by managing critical storage resources such as memory and disks, must be designed.
