: A distributed system is scalable if the rate at which it completes its computation and communication tasks does not depend on its size. As an example, the scalability of a peer-t...
Multicasting is one of the most important applications in Wireless Ad hoc Networks and the currently emerging Wireless Mesh Networks. In such networks, interference due to the shar...
The repeated pattern of I, P and B frames in an MPEG stream is known as the Group of Pictures (GOP). Current GOP choices are made using intuition and informal guidelines without t...
A realistic simulation system, which couples geometry and physics, can provide a useful toolkit for virtual environments. Interactions among moving objects in the virtual worlds a...
Abstract. Multimedia applications require the transmission of realtime streams over a network. These streams often exhibit variable bandwidth requirements, and require high bandwid...
