In light of the slow deployment of IP Multicast technology on the global Internet and the
explosive popularity of peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing applications, there has been a flurry …

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks enable users to directly share digital content (such as audio,
video, and text files) as well as real-time data (such as telephony traffic) with other users …

Efficient and scalable live-streaming overlay construction has become a hot topic recently. In
order to improve the performance metrics, such as startup delay, source-to-end delay, and …

This paper presents a systematic in-depth study on the existence, importance, and
application of stable nodes in peer-to-peer live video streaming. Using traces from a real …

We introduce autonomous gossiping (A/G), a new genre epidemic algorithm for selective
dissemination of information in contrast to previous usage of epidemic algorithms which …

We present Slurpie: a peer-to-peer protocol for bulk data transfer. Slurpie is specifically
designed to reduce client download times for large, popular files, and to reduce load on …

The realization of sensing swarms composed of value-specific sensing elements requires
distributed cooperation among the members of the swarm. The number of value-specific …

Peer-to-peer overlay networks are widely used in distributed systems. Based on whether a
regular topology is maintained among peers, peer-to-peer networks can be divided into two …

The Internet and multimedia technologies have greatly changed our lives. With the
increasing popularity of multimedia entertainment applications over the Internet, innovative …
