CoolStreaming/DONet: A Data-driven Overlay Network for Peer-to-Peer Live Media Streaming

by Xinyan Zhang, Jiangchuan Liu, Bo Li, Tak-shing Peter Yum - in IEEE Infocom , 2005
"... This paper presents DONet, a Data-driven Overlay Network for live media streaming. The core operations in DONet are very simple: every node periodically exchanges data availability information with a set of partners, and retrieves unavailable data from one or more partners, or supplies available dat ..."

Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques

by Jiawei Han, Micheline Kamber , 2000
"... Our capabilities of both generating and collecting data have been increasing rapidly in the last several decades. Contributing factors include the widespread use of bar codes for most commercial products, the computerization of many business, scientific and government transactions and managements, a ..."

Formalising trust as a computational concept

by Stephen Paul Marsh , 1994
"... Trust is a judgement of unquestionable utility — as humans we use it every day of our lives. However, trust has suffered from an imperfect understanding, a plethora of definitions, and informal use in the literature and in everyday life. It is common to say “I trust you, ” but what does that mean? T ..."

EasyLiving: Technologies for Intelligent Environments

by Barry Brumitt, Brian Meyers, John Krumm, A Kern, Steven Shafer , 2000
"... The EasyLiving project is concerned with development of an architecture and technologies for intelligent environments which allow the dynamic aggregation of diverse I/O devices into a single coherent user experience. Components of such a system include middleware (to facilitate distributed computing ..."

Distributed Cognition: Toward a New Foundation for Human-Computer Interaction Research

by James Hollan, Edwin Hutchins, David Kirsh - ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction , 2000
"... We are quickly passing through the historical moment when people work in front of a single computer, dominated by a small CRT and focused on tasks involving only local information. Networked computers are becoming ubiquitous and are playing increasingly significant roles in our lives and in the basi ..."

Distributing Streaming Media Content Using Cooperative Networking

by Venkata N. Padmanabhan, Helen J. Wang, Philip A. Chou, Kunwadee Sripanidkulchai , 2002
"... In this paper, we discuss the problem of distributing streaming media content, both live and on-demand, to a large number of hosts in a scalable way. Our work is set in the context of the traditional client-server framework. Specifically, we consider the problem that arises when the server is overwh ..."

Intelligent Scissors for Image Composition

by Eric N. Mortensen, William A. Barrett - In Computer Graphics, SIGGRAPH Proceedings , 1995
"... We present a new, interactive tool called Intelligent Scissors which we use for image segmentation and composition. Fully automated segmentation is an unsolved problem, while manual tracing is inaccurate and laboriously unacceptable. However, Intelligent Scissors allow objects within digital images ..."

can be extracted. Extracted objects can be scaled, rotated, and composited using live-wire masks and spatial frequency equivalencing. Frequency equivalencing is performed by applying a Butterworth filter which matches the lowest frequency spectra to all other image components. Intelligent Scissors

Sizing Router Buffers

by Guido Appenzeller, Isaac Keslassy, Nick McKeown , 2004
"... All Internet routers contain buffers to hold packets during times of congestion. Today, the size of the buffers is determined by the dynamics of TCP’s congestion control algorithm. In particular, the goal is to make sure that when a link is congested, it is busy 100 % of the time; which is equivalen ..."

Multi-camera multi-person tracking for EasyLiving

by John Krumm, Steve Harris, Brian Meyers, Barry Brumitt, Michael Hale, Steve Shafer , 2000
"... While intelligent environments are often cited as a reason for doing work on visual person-tracking, really making an intelligent environment exposes many realworld problems in visual tracking that must be solved to make the technology practical. In the context of our EasyLiving project in intellige ..."
