IP networks present a challenging environment for video streaming because they do not provide throughput, jitter, or loss rate guarantees. In this work, we focus on improving the p...
State of the art, real-time, rate-adaptive, multimedia applications adjust their transmission rate to match the available network capacity. Unfortunately, this source-based rate-a...
There are many application classes where the users are flexible with respect to the output quality. At the same time, there are other constraints, such as the need for real-time ...
Building software systems with reusable components brings many advantages. The development becomes more efficient, the reliability of the products is enhanced, and the maintenance...
Existing code update protocols for reprogramming nodes in a sensor network are either unsuitable or inefficient when used in a mobile environment. The prohibitive factor of uncert...
