We describe a new scalable application-layer multicast protocol, specifically designed for
low-bandwidth, data streaming applications with large receiver sets. Our scheme is based …

The growth of the Internet raises new challenges for the design of distributed systems and
applications. In the context of group communication protocols, gossip-based schemes have …

This paper presents an overlay architecture where service providers deploy a set of service
nodes (called MSNs) in the network to efficiently implement media-streaming applications …

Many solutions have been proposed to tackle the load balancing issue in DHT-based P2P
systems. However, all these solutions either ignore the heterogeneity nature of the system …

Efficient event delivery in a content-based publish/subscribe system has been a challenging
problem. Existing group communication solutions, such as IP multicast or application-level …

Spectral analysis of the Internet topology at the autonomous system (AS) level, by adapting
the standard spectral filtering method of examining the eigenvectors corresponding to the …

We introduce PRM (Probabilistic Resilient Multicast): a multicast data recovery scheme that
improves data delivery ratios while maintaining low end-to-end latencies. PRM has both a …

The realization of sensing swarms composed of value-specific sensing elements requires
distributed cooperation among the members of the swarm. The number of value-specific …

A heuristic algorithm that maps data processing tasks onto heterogeneous resources (ie
processors and links of various capacities) is presented. The algorithm tries to achieve a …

During recent years, the Internet has witnessed a rapid growth in deployment of data-driven
(or swarming based) peer-to-peer (P2P) media streaming. In these applications, each node …
