Over the past decade, techniques for providing Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees to applications have been the central theme for much of the research in multimedia systems. This broad category of research includes techniques for designing multimedia servers (VoD servers), network protocols and scheduling techniques for per-hop and end-to-end QoS guarantees, and QoS mechanisms for operating systems, among others. Several thousand papers have been published in these areas. Yet, few of these
