Abstract—We introduce a new class of exact MinimumBandwidth Regenerating (MBR) codes for distributed storage systems, characterized by a low-complexity uncoded repair process tha...
In this paper, we propose a framework for QualityDriven Delivery (QDD) in distributed multimedia environments. Quality-driven delivery refers to the capacity of a system to delive...
In the multimedia field, metadata are becoming increasingly important for efficiently cataloguing the abundant flood of information. (Metadata are data on information structure...
This paper describes an architecture for building distributed information systems from existing information resources, based on software agent and distributed object technologies....
