The server redirection system replicates contents on replica servers in the distributed network environment. When users make a request for contents, the system can provide the contents much faster than the client-server network system. In the server redirection system, it is the most important to select the optimal replica server with user's information because many replica servers are geographically distributed. And, the system can serve contents to users flexibly if a redirector is well constructed. In this paper, the redirector makes a list of candidates suitable for user conditions by the decision tree method and calculates the availability of each replica server. And, the redirector selects the replica server with the highest availability. This paper also proposes an availability-based server redirection system that predicts the availability of each replica server in order to reduce the workload of replica servers and the repetitive communication messages between a redirector and replica servers. If a user accesses the network path for the replica server selected and noticed by the proposed system, the user can get contents effectively and efficiently.

인터넷 환경에서 프록시(proxy)는, 효율적인 데이터의 전송을 위해 다양한 클라이언트 장치들과 WWW 서버들간의 다리역할을 수행한다. 특히, 최근의 인터넷 환경은 이미지 같은 복잡하고 대량의 크기를 갖는 데이터 전송을 많이 요구하고 있으므로, 클라이언트 환경에 맞는 최선의 화질과 최소의 지연시간을 갖도록 데이터를 변환하여 재전송하는 트랜스코딩(transcoding)이 중요시되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 트랜스코딩을 수행하는 다수의 프록시들이 존재할 때, 클라이언트의 요구(request)와 장치(device), 또는 네트워크의 여러 가지 조건에 가장 적합한 프록시를 선택할 수 있는 수리적인 모델을 제안한다. 이러한 수리적 모델은 경로연결(redirector)내에서 동작하는 알고리즘으로서, 예상되는 지연시간과 오버플로우의 가능성을 최소화할 수 있는 최선의 프록시를 클라이언트와 서버사이에 연결함으로서 이미지 전송에 있어서 더 큰 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 실험 결과, 전체적인 지연시간을 줄일 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 클라이언트에게 적절한 양과 질의 데이터 전송효과를 가진다.

Currently, the package tools and software development kits of Microsoft's Windows Media Technology provides users an environment to write, distribute and play multimedia contents. However, it is very difficult for common users to create a media streaming content using the Windows Media technology, because of its technical hardship. Therefore, we developed an easy-to-use authoring tool for multimedia streaming content which can be used in the Windows Media Technology environment. Our authoring tool is based on the web page templates by which HTML codes can be generated automatically. Using the existing streaming media authoring tool provided by the Microsoft, users have to code the temporal markers and the event script commands directly to the ASF(Advanced Systems Format) files or ASX (ASF Stream Redirector) format files. We developed an easy-to-use interface for insetting temporal markers and the event script commands to the ASF files by simple mouse clicking and dragging to minimize the effort of users for creating multimedia streaming content. In addition, we implemented an ASX file creation wizard that allows users to create ASX format file without coding ASX tags. We also implemented various web page templates where the ASF files and the ASX files can be embedded by just clicking the corresponding templates. The target web pages can be automatically generated from those templates and previewed directly on the web browser at the time of creation.
