The construction of multicast trees is complicated by the need to balance a number of important objectives, including: minimizing latencies, minimizing depth/hops, and bounding th...
As the size of distributed systems keeps growing, the peer to peer communication paradigm has been identified as the key to scalability. Peer to peer overlay networks are charact...

This paper presents a support for the development of Distributed Virtual Environments (DVEs) on P2P architectures. A hierarchical overlay is defined by pairing each peer with a wei...
We describe the problem of data dissemination in stream-oriented applications where the required filter is a function of the current state. We call such functions dynamic filter...
This paper focuses on designing incentive mechanisms for overlay multicast systems. Existing proposals on the problem are no longer able to provide proper incentives when rational...
