  • Node and topology management for content distribution in source constraint networks

    Creator:
    Kolazhi, Krishnan
    Abstract:
    As broadband Internet becomes widely available, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications over the Internet are becoming increasingly popular. Such an example is a video multicast application in which, one source streams a video to a large number of destination nodes through an overlay multicast tree consisting of peers. These overlay multicast-based applications,...

  • Efficient content distribution on source constraint networks: peer communication

    Creator:
    Kamath, Rohit Vinodanand
    Abstract:
    Popular applications such as P2P file sharing, multiplayer gaming, videoconferencing, etc. rely on the efficiency of content distribution from a single source to multiple receivers. Most users of these applications are on the widely prevalent source constraint networks such as the Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and wireless networks. Overlay multicast...

  • Fast data replenishment in peer to peer networks

    Creator:
    Dhamodaran, Arul Nambi
    Abstract:
    Peer-to-Peer (P2P) based distributed storage systems have gain much popularity in recent years. These systems rely greatly on the data redundancy to be robust under network dynamics, i.e., the dynamics of peer entering and departing the network. Hence, it is important to implement mechanisms for maintaining a certain level of...

  • Modeling and dynamics analysis of P2P networks based on evolutionary games

    Creator:
    Cho, Seungyun
    Abstract:
    Since free riders in P2P network reduce the system's performance, how to maintain and encourage the nodes' cooperation is an important aspect of P2P related research. In this thesis, a P2P system is modeled based on two games: stag hunt game and snowdrift game. To relate the model to the...

  • Video streaming in unstructured peer-to-peer networks

    Creator:
    Furtado, Craig
    Abstract:
    With the increase in demand for streaming media capabilities across the Internet, the focus has shifted from traditional client-server to peer-to-peer approaches. Content Distribution Networks (CDNs) have also recently moved from web acceleration to media streaming. P2P CDNs can be used both as a delivery mechanism and as an independent...

  • Performance Evaluation of Hybrid Peer-to-Peer System for Streaming

    Creator:
    Rajasekaran, Pallavi
    Abstract:
    Finding an efficient way of distributing content in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks has become important with the growing popularity of media streaming applications. Video multicast applications rely on the efficiency of content distribution from a single source to multiple receivers where one source streams a video to a large number of...

  • Variations on ID3 for text-to-speech conversion

    Creator:
    Hild, Hermann
    Abstract:
    Summary of results. After implementing the plain ID3 algorithm, I experimented with various modifi cations. Two improvements of the process of finding a legal phoneme/stress could be made by using statistical information about the letter to phoneme/stress-mapping in the training set. Adding the CHI-SQUARE test to the ID3 algorithm was...

  • Distributed OpenCL : a platform for distributed, heterogeneous computing for domain scientists

    Creator:
    Dillon, William H.
    Abstract:
    It is possible to purchase, for as little as $10,000, a cluster of computers with the capability to rival the supercomputers of only a few years ago. Now, users that have little to no experience developing distributed applications or managing a cluster are in a position to do so. To...

  • Optimal load and resource balance in internet distributed systems

    Creator:
    Nishida, Hiroshi
    Abstract:
    A distributed system is a network of multiple autonomous computational nodes designed primarily for performance scalability and robustness. The performance of a distributed system depends critically on how tasks and resources are distributed among the nodes. Thus, a main thrust in distributed system research is to design schemes for distributing...

  • Efficient P2P media dissemination with forward error correction

    Creator:
    Do, Phuoc
    Abstract:
    Media application on the internet has become more and more popular as the bandwidth of the network links increase. The bottleneck of the existing media systems is no longer the link bandwidth at user’s end, but the server’s ability to handle streaming requests. These existing streaming systems do not scale...
