Abstract
AQUA is an integrated resource management architecture for an end-system that can deliver desired QOS to multimedia applications. The proposed architecture (called AQUA for Adaptive End-system Quality of Service Architecture) includes a common framework for managing resources such as CPU, network interface, memory, and bus bandwidth. Contributions of AQUA include an adaptation framework, QOS specification, resource managers, and an application-level QOS manager that performs application-based graceful adaptation when resource requirements change or the demand for resources exceeds available capacity. 1 Introduction Unique QOS (Quality-Of-Service) requirements of distributed multimedia applications have prompted innovative research in the area of network protocols, operating systems, and host-network interface architectures. The QOS requirements dictate that a distributed application must get guaranteed access and predictable service from resources in a distributed system. Network prot...
