We investigate streaming over multiple links. A file is split into small units called chunks that may be requested on the various links according to some policy, and received after some random delay. After a start-up time called…
Understanding livestream platforms' accessibility challenges for minority groups, such as people with disabilities, is critical to increasing the diversity and inclusion of those platforms. While prior work investigated the experiences of…
The Join-the-Shortest-Queue (JSQ) load-balancing scheme is known to minimise the average delay of jobs in homogeneous systems consisting of identical servers. However, it performs poorly in heterogeneous systems where servers have different…
This survey presents the evolution of live media streaming and the technological developments behind today's IP-based low-latency live streaming systems. Live streaming primarily involves capturing, encoding, packaging and delivering…
A heterogeneous closed network with one-server queues with finite capacity and one infinite-server queue is studied. A target application is bike-sharing systems. Heterogeneity is taken into account through clusters whose queues have the…
Modeling and understanding BitTorrent (BT) dynamics is a recurrent research topic mainly due to its high complexity and tremendous practical efficiency. Over the years, different models have uncovered various phenomena exhibited by the…
In this work, we focus on distributed cache systems with non-uniform storage capacity across caches. We compare the performance of our system with the performance of a system with the same cumulative storage distributed evenly across the…
Recent years have witnessed a dramatic increase of user-generated video services. In such user-generated video services, crowdsourced live streaming (e.g., Periscope, Twitch) has significantly challenged today's edge network infrastructure:…
The streaming instability is thought to play a central role in the early stages of planet formation by enabling the efficient bypass of a number of barriers hindering the formation of planetesimals. We present the first study exploring the…
Till today we dreamt of imperceptible delay in a network. The computer science research grows today faster than ever offering more and more services (computational representational, graphical, intelligent implication etc) to its user. But…
To improve the utility of learning applications and render machine learning solutions feasible for complex applications, a substantial amount of heavy computations is needed. Thus, it is essential to delegate the computations among several…
We are motivated by the problem of designing a simple distributed algorithm for Peer-to-Peer streaming applications that can achieve high throughput and low delay, while allowing the neighbor set maintained by each peer to be small. While…
Modern scientific instruments generate data at rates that increasingly exceed local compute capabilities and, when paired with the staging and I/O overheads of file-based transfers, also render file-based use of remote HPC resources…
User dissatisfaction due to buffering pauses during streaming is a significant cost to the system, which we model as a non-decreasing function of the frequency of buffering pause. Minimization of total user dissatisfaction in a…
This paper studies the problem of serving multiple live video streams to several different clients from a single access point over unreliable wireless links, which is expected to be major a consumer of future wireless capacity. This problem…
This paper is a short summary of the main results in the thesis [1]. Based on the P2P paradigm we construct a stochastic model for a live media streaming content delivery network. Starting from the behavior of the out degree process of each…
The advent of 5G has driven the demand for high-quality, low-latency live streaming. However, challenges such as managing the increased data volume, ensuring synchronization across multiple streams, and maintaining consistent quality under…
We develop a comprehensive theoretical framework to analyze live streaming platforms as two-sided markets, focusing on the head effect where a small subset of elite streamers disproportionately attracts viewer attention. By constructing…

We study video streaming over a slow fading wireless channel. In a streaming application video packets are required to be decoded and displayed in the order they are transmitted as the transmission goes on. This results in per-packet delay…
