Question:
Consider the operation of a jukebox. Each table has a jukebox terminal where customers can feed coins to play songs (50 cents apiece, three for a dollar). Prior to the iPod era, the queue to hear your songs in a busy restaurant could be quite long, sometimes longer than the average dining time, in fact.
Discuss the various disk scheduling algorithms as methods of selecting the order in which to play the requested songs. Be sure to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each method in terms of fairness, probability that each diner will get to hear their songs, ease of implementation, and any other important issues that you feel should be considered. You might note that multiple diners would sometimes request the same song.
