Editorial Reviews

Comprising five selected papers from the Eighth International Workshop on Research Issues in Data Engineering (Orlando, Florida; February 1998), this volume represents the recent work of electrical engineers and computer scientists from around the world. It includes an overview of various disk scheduling policies, a study of threshold- based dynamic replication in video-on-demand systems, an articulation of a graphical query language (GVISUAL) and its uses, an examination of data placement, buffering, and scheduling techniques for multi-user editing servers, and a proposal to use client side resources to improve performance.
