A robust real-time video communication service over the Internet in a distributed manner is
an important challenge, as it influences not only the current Internet structure but also the …

Gossip relies on verifiable pseudo-random partner selection to eliminate non-determinism
that can be used to game the system while maintaining the robustness and rapid …

Most existing research on peer-to-peer (p2p) has been on file sharing applications. In this
paper, we focus on p2p streaming applications. In particular, we argue that the Bit-for-Bit …

In this paper, we design a distributed incentive mechanism for mesh-pull P2P live streaming
networks. In our system, a video is encoded into layers with lower layers having more …

In this paper we model and study the performance of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing systems
in terms of their 'service capacity'. We identify two regimes of interest: the transient and …

Multimedia social networks have become an emerging research area, in which analysis and
modeling of the behavior of users who share multimedia are of ample importance in …

In the process of government procurement of public services (GPPS), adverse selection and
moral hazard caused by dual asymmetric information can damage public interests and …

Over the years, the Internet has become a field in which a small number of large Internet
companies dominate most of the Internet services. As users get used to using their services …

We propose a novel payment-based incentive scheme for peer-to-peer (P2P) live media
streaming. Using this approach, peers earn points by forwarding data to others. The data …

We consider the design of bandwidth-demanding broadcasting applications using overlays
in environments characterized by hosts with limited and asymmetric bandwidth, and …
