The required real-time and high-rate transfers for multimedia data severely limit the number of requests that can be serviced concurrently by Video-on-Demand (VOD) servers. Resour...
Realistic acoustic modeling is essential for spatializing sound in distributed virtual environments where multiple networked users move around and interact visually and aurally in...
