Abstract

This chapter presents MediaGrid, a distributed storage system for archiving broadcast media contents. MediaGrid utilizes storage resources donated by computing nodes running in a distributed computing environment. A genetic algorithm for resource selection is built in MediaGrid with the aim to optimize the utilization of resources available for archiving media files with various sizes. Evaluation results show the effectiveness of MediaGrid in archiving broadcast media contents, and the performance of the genetic algorithm in resource utilization optimization
