We consider server scheduling strategies to minimize average flow time in a multicast pull system where data items have uniform size. The algorithm Longest Wait First (LWF) always...
IPTV services are the fastest growing television services in the world today. This is a bandwidth intensive service, requiring low latency and tight control of jitter. To guarante...

In this paper, we examine the problem of large-volume data dissemination via overlay networks. A natural way to maximize the throughput of an overlay multicast session is to split...
We consider a system where each user is in one or more elementary groups. In this system, arbitrary groups of users can be specified using the operations of union, intersection, a...
Abstract—Many distributed applications require a group of destinations to be coordinated with a single source. Multicasting is a communication paradigm to implement these distrib...
