A cost-effective approach to building up scalable Videoon-Demand (VoD) servers is to couple a number of VoD servers together in a cluster. In this article, we study a crucial vide...
We present a novel Delay-Energy Aware Routing Protocol (DEAP) for for heterogeneous sensor and actor networks. DEAP enable a wide range of tradoffs between delay and energy consum...
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing is the hottest, fastest growing application on the Internet. When designing Gnutella-like applications, the most important consideration is the sca...
Smart antennas are expected to enhance scalability in ad hoc networks. This paper at first evaluates three directional MAC protocols, DMAC, MMAC and SWAMP as well as the omni-dir...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) technology has been successfully applied in Internet telephony or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), such as the Skype system, where P2P is used for both sear...
