In a server system having a predetermined total bandwidth providing data files to a plurality of clients in response to requests received from the clients, a method for providing admission control comprises the steps of allocating a plurality of channel partitions to a plurality of channel groups such that each channel group includes one or more of the channel partitions. The system then obtains a channel group number based on the length of the data file requested by one of the clients and transmits the requested data file when a channel group corresponding to the obtained channel group number contains a vacant channel partition.

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.

A method for generating an approximate answer in response to a query to a database in which an SQL query Q for operating on a relation R in a database is received. Relation R has an associated histogram H. The SQL query Q is translated to be a query Q′ for operating on histogram H. Translated query Q′ is executed on histogram H for obtaining a result histogram. The result histogram is expanded into a relation having tuples containing approximate attribute values.

A database system that provides independence between the query and physical structure of the database tables by captioning each database table with a partial query reflecting the contents of that table. In particular, the partial query is a query that if applied to a larger database of a standard configuration would produce the data of the table. Relevant tables for a particular query may be identified by piecing together the partial queries until the user query is obtained. The database system may be integrated with an optimizer by comparing each of the identified tables against the others for the amount of overlap their sub-queries have with the user query and the cost of accessing the table and then repeating this process as the tables are joined in various combinations.
