Examining multimedia program allocation in distributed multimedia-on-demand systems lets us consider how best to provide programs at will from geographically scattered servers. Each user is associated with a local server but can transparently access any program located at any server. We consider user demand for various programs, storage limitations of the multimedia servers, and costs of storing and transporting the programs.
