In this paper we present a general hybrid systems modeling framework to describe the flow of traffic in communication networks. To characterize network behavior, these models use...
In this paper, we study the problem of utility maximization in P2P systems, in which aggregate application-specific utilities are maximized by running distributed algorithms on P2...

Abstract--Current video-on-demand (VoD) systems can be classified into two categories: 1) true-VoD (TVoD) and 2) near-VoD (NVoD). TVoD systems allocate a dedicated channel for ever...
A primary challenge in multicasting video in a wireless LAN is to deal with the client diversity – clients may have different channel characteristics and hence receive different...
While it is well known that network coding achieves optimal flow rates in multicast sessions, its potential for practical use has remained to be a question, due to its high compu...
