In light of the slow deployment of IP Multicast technology on the global Internet and the
explosive popularity of peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing applications, there has been a flurry …

Providing video on demand (VoD) service over the Internet in a scalable way is a
challenging problem. In this paper, we propose P2Cast-an architecture that uses a peer-to …

As expectations for the Internet to support multimedia applications grow, new services need
to be deployed. One of them is the group communication service for one-to-many or many-to …

Application level multicasting is increasingly being used to overcome the problem of non-
ubiquitous deployment of IP multicast across heterogeneous networks. To the best of our …

Though the merits of IP-based multicast are undeniable, the deployment of IP multicast has
met many difficulties. In the past several years, lots of research works have been done on …

A ubiquitous and efficient multicast data delivery service is essential to the success of large-
scale group communication applications. The original IP multicast design is to enhance …

In order to provide an increasing number of functionalities and benefit from sophisticated
and application-tailored services from the network, distributed applications are led to …

A 'second generation'approach to the provision of Grid middleware is now emerging which
is built on service-oriented architecture and web services standards and technologies …

Although context could be exploited to improve performance, elasticity and adaptation in
most distributed systems that adopt the publish/subscribe (P/S) communication model, only …

We study the impact of cheating nodes in application-level multicast overlay trees. We focus
on selfish nodes acting independently, cheating about their distance measurements during …
