Abstract—The success of swarming content delivery has motivated a new approach to live Peer-to-Peer (P2P) streaming that we call mesh-based streaming. In this approach, participa...
As the number of information in the Internet constantly increases and the complexity of systems rapidly grows, locating and manipulating complex data has become a difficult task. W...
A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes which communicate over radio. These kind of networks are very flexible, thus they do not require any existing infr...
