True VoD systems provide interactive on-demand video service by allocating each client a dedicated stream. Such a scheme is inefficient when the system has a large number of users...

The paper describes DISCOVR, a distributed collaborative video recorder. DISCOVR is a P2P application that combines asynchronous file sharing with synchronous on-demand media stre...
Two current trends in distributed computing are the emergence of standardised distributed object platforms such as CORBA, and the increasing use of continuous media data types. Th...
We propose a new model for on-demand media streaming centered around the peer-to-peer (P2P) paradigm. The proposed P2P model can support a large number of clients with a low overa...
We propose a dynamic programming algorithm for finding optimal transmission policies for a single packet in ratedistortion optimized media streaming. The algorithm relies on an op...
