Chapter and Conference Paper
Due to the inherent bandwidth burstness, variable-bit-rate (VBR) encoded videos are very difficult to be effectively transmitted over clustered video servers for achieving high server bandwidth utilization and ef...
Chapter and Conference Paper
More and more researchers have put their emphases on peer-to-peer streaming services, which can provide massive and cheap video-on-demand services. Data dissemination is one of the most important open problems...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Overlays to support applications, such as file sharing and media streaming services, are not only based on structured networks or unstructured networks simply. Gnutella networks with ultra-peers consider the s...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Distributed streaming servers based on clusters with multi-components have several failure points, which will destroy the systems or degrades the quality of services. How to provide reliable streaming services...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Trust management is a key issue for P2P networks. Previous works build peer’s reputation just based on ratings of other individual peers. In this paper we present a novel trust construction approach, called Commu...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Peer-to-Peer media streaming service has gained tremendous momentum in recent years. However, a number of challenges in Peer-to-Peer media streaming have not been addressed. In this paper, we propose a peer-to...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Using peer-to-peer overlay network to provide video-on-demand service has been a promising solution due to its potential high scalability and low deployment cost. However, it remains a great challenge to const...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The construction for a P2P-based high performance computing platform (P2HP) is presented to address parallel problems in this paper. P2HP utilizes idle computers in the Internet with great scalability to form ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
This paper proposes an application level multicast approach called Tree-Control-Mesh-Media (TCMM) to distribute live media streams to a large number of users efficiently. In TCMM, transmissions of media data are ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Rapid improvements in network bandwidth, ubiquitous security hazards and high total cost of ownership of personal computers have created a growing market for desktop virtualization. We present the LVD, a syste...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The social-network-based epidemics, such as email-based ones, have been long studied. However, few have noticed some newly emerging epidemics which especially based on portable devices. In this paper, we think...
Chapter and Conference Paper
It is a big challenge to provide Video-on-Demand streaming services over Internet in a scalable way. Currently, many researchers use a single channel overlay to implement the scalability of on-demand streaming...
Article
Large scale clusters based on virtualization technologies have been widely used in many areas, including the data center and cloud computing environment. But how to save energy is a big challenge for building ...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Recently P2P (Peer-to-Peer) has been proposed to improve the scalability of the traditional VoIP (voice over IP) systems. However, P2P makes VoIP service unreliable because P2P networks probably scale up and t...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Recently P2P-SIP (Peer-to-Peer Session Initiation Protocol) has been proposed to improve the scalability and reliability of the traditional SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) networks. However, P2P-SIP makes SIP s...
Article
How to improve the scalability and QoS of peer-to-peer on-demand streaming system based on unstructured overlay is still a problem. Researchers have proposed some memory based buffering schemes to archive the ...
Article
Desktop virtualization is a very hot concept in both industry and academic communities. Since virtualized desktop system is based on multiple virtual machines (VM), it is necessary to design a distributed stor...
Article
Recent advance of virtualization technology provides a new approach to check-point/restart at the virtual machine (VM) level. In contrast to traditional process-level checkpointing, checkpointing at the virtua...
Chapter and Conference Paper
CS (Conflict Serializability) is a recently proposed relaxer correctness criterion that can increase transactional memory’s parallelism. DDA (Distributed Dependency-Aware) model is currently proposed to implem...
