1 definition found From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]: Scan-EDFA variation of the {Scan} disk aceess algorithm for use in a {real-time} environment where, in general, requests are served according to {Earliest Deadline First}. If two requests share the same deadline, they may be reorganised according to Scan. A typical example is a video server that retrieves video data from a hard disk. The playback of a video impose tight real-time constraints but if the server retrieves data once every second for each video channel, Scan-EDF can be applied, reducing the {seek} {overhead}.
