A novel video encoding and splicing method is proposed which minimizes the tune-in time of “channel zapping”, i.e. changing from one audiovisual service to another, in IPDC ov...
These days an increasing number of applications, especially in science and engineering, are dealing with a massive amount of data; hence they are dataintensive. Bioinformatics, da...
— Recently, researchers have discovered that many of social, natural and biological networks are characterized by scale-free power-law connectivity distribution and a few densely...
P2P systems that rely on the voluntary contribution of bandwidth by the individual peers may suffer from freeriding. To address this problem, mechanisms enforcing fairness in band...
