Media data are VBR in nature due to the coding and compression technologies applied. As VBR streams are complicated for network management, different approaches were proposed to s...
A number of techniques have been developed for maximizing disk utilization in media servers, including disk arm scheduling and data placement ones. Instead, in this paper we focus...
Abstract. There are many domains in which a multi-agent system needs to maximize a "system utility" function which rates the performance of the entire system, while subje...
Abstract - Overlay multicast, which performs topology construction and data relaying in the application layer, has recently emerged as a promising vehicle for data distribution. In...
This paper presents a new way of formalizing the Coalition Structure Generation problem (CSG), so that we can apply constraint optimization techniques to it. Forming effective coal...
