Utility-based scheduling for public displays with live content
Kristi Bushman, Alexandros Labrinidis · 2019
The pervasiveness of public displays is prompting an increased need for "fresh" content to be shown, that is highly engaging and useful to passerbys. As such, live or time-sensitive content is often shown in conjunction with "traditional" static content, which creates scheduling challenges. In this work, we propose a utility-based framework and a novel scheduling algorithm for handling live and non-live content on public displays. We also experimentally evaluate our proposed algorithm against a number of alternatives under a variety of workloads.
