Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating a factory layout to dynamically optimize a media content production in a real-time environment. The system includes a media production optimizer with a widget controller that provides widgets that represent work packages as micro-services that perform functions of the media content production, respectively. A user interface controller receive inputs from a user interface to dynamically update the factory layout for the media content production. The media production optimizer then recompiles underlying code to update a model of the factory layout in response to the inputs from the operator of the system, and also migrates the updated factory layout to a cloud platform that includes a plurality of media production components including the plurality of micro-services for deployment thereon.

Abstract: A system is provided for optimizing deployment of a processing function in a media production workflow. The system includes a media production workflow generator that builds the media production workflow that includes the processing function and determines deployment criteria that includes an input dataset for the processing function and an atomic compute function for executing the processing function. Moreover, a deployment topology generator generates a topologies of the resources available in a cloud computing network and based on the determined deployment criteria, with the generated topologies indicating different configurations of resources for executing the processing function and a processor for executing the atomic compute function of the processing function. Furthermore, a deployment optimizer selects an optimal topology to deploy the processing function within the cloud computing network, with the optimal topology selected to include the processor for optimizing accessibility of electronic memory to execute the atomic compute function.

Abstract: A system is provided for distributing media content in a distributed network. The system includes a count sequence generator that generates a monotonic increasing count sequence, a signal processor that generates a correspondence between media content and the count sequence, such that the monotonic increasing counter sequence is configured for a media content request defined by the increasing count sequence; and a media content database configured to store the media content and corresponding count sequence. Moreover, the signal processor receives a media content request that includes media request parameters that define a portion of the media content based on the corresponding count sequence and at least one of content quality, cost of the requested media content and a delivery time for the requested media content. The signal processor also accesses the requested media content from the media content database and distributes the media content to the media processing node.
