Live streaming services are becoming increasingly popular due to real-time interactions and entertainment. Viewers can chat and send comments or virtual gifts to express their preferences for the streamers. Accurately modeling the gifting…
The quality of experience (QoE) is known to be subjective and context-dependent. Identifying and calculating the factors that affect QoE is indeed a difficult task. Recently, a lot of effort has been devoted to estimate the users QoE in…
Task scheduling as an effective strategy can improve application performance on computing resource-limited devices over distributed networks. However, existing evaluation mechanisms fail to depict the complexity of diverse applications,…
Quality of service (QoS) for a network is characterized in terms of various parameters specifying packet delay and loss tolerance requirements for the application. The unpredictable nature of the wireless channel demands for application of…
The popularity of immersive videos has prompted extensive research into neural adaptive tile-based streaming to optimize video transmission over networks with limited bandwidth. However, the diversity of users' viewing patterns and Quality…
The concept of spectrum or bandwidth sharing has gained significant global attention as a means to enhance the efficiency of real-time traffic management in wireless networks. Effective bandwidth sharing enables optimal utilization of…
Streaming analysis is widely used in cloud as well as edge infrastructures. In these contexts, fine-grained application performance can be based on accurate modeling of streaming operators. This is especially beneficial for computationally…
Scalable video coding has drawn great interest in content delivery in many multimedia services thanks to its capability to handle terminal heterogeneity and network conditions variation. In our previous work, and under the umbrella of…
Today, a large fraction of Internet traffic is originated by Content Providers (CPs) such as content distribution networks and hyper-giants. To cope with the increasing demand for content, CPs deploy massively distributed infrastructures.…
Using multiple streams can improve the overall system performance by mitigating the data transfer overhead on heterogeneous systems. Currently, very few cases have been streamed to demonstrate the streaming performance impact and a…
When handling large datasets that exceed the capacity of the main memory, movement of data between main memory and external memory (disk), rather than actual (CPU) computation time, is often the bottleneck in the computation. Since data is…
Nowadays distributed computing approach has become very popular due to several advantages over the centralized computing approach as it also offers high performance computing at a very low cost. Each router implements some queuing mechanism…
Quality of Experience~(QoE)-driven adaptive bitrate (ABR) algorithms are typically optimized using QoE models that are based on the mean opinion score~(MOS), while such principles may not account for user heterogeneity on rating scales,…
Recently, the way people consume video content has been undergoing a dramatic change. Plain TV sets, that have been the center of home entertainment for a long time, are losing grounds to Hybrid TV's, PC's, game consoles, and, more…
The present work presents an architecture developed to evaluate the QoS parameters for the IPTV heterogeneous network. At its very basic level lie two software technologies: Video LAN and Windows Media Services with two operating systems:…
The emerging video applications greatly increase the demand in network bandwidth that is not easy to scale. To provide higher quality of experience (QoE) under limited bandwidth, a recent trend is to leverage the heterogeneity of quality…
In this paper, we propose a digital agent (DA)-assisted resource management scheme for enhanced user quality of experience (QoE) in integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) networks. Particularly, user QoE is a comprehensive metric that…
Dealing with network congestion is a criterion used to enhance quality of service (QoS) in distributed multimedia systems. The existing solutions for the problem of network congestion ignore scalability considerations because they maintain…
Video conferencing platforms have been appropriated during the COVID-19 pandemic for different purposes, including classroom teaching. However, the platforms are not designed for many of these objectives. When users, like educationists,…
Clearly, no one likes webpages with poor quality of experience (QoE). Being perceived as slow or fast is a key element in the overall perceived QoE of web applications. While extensive effort has been put into optimizing web applications…
