Always-Best-Served Music Distribution for Nomadic Users over Heterogeneous Networks
he distribution of online music has played a key role in driving the digital multimedia entertainment business to the pervasive extent we know today. The digital music revolution was substantially fueled by the invention of new online distribution models, such as P2P file sharing and online music libraries containing over one million songs in a pay-per-listen fashion. In this context, a new generation of devices that seamlessly integrate multiple radio access technologies is quickly emerging into a market for handheld devices.
Vittorio Ghini and Paola Salomoni, University of Bologna; Giovanni Pau, University of CaliforniaRelative QoS Optimization for Multiparty Online Gaming in DiffServ Networks
Real-time interactive multimedia multiparty communication is becoming a vital partof modern Internet services. As one of its applications, online gaming attracts a hugegroup of fans playing over the Internet, and has new requirements for relative QoS.
Lei Liang, Zhili Sun, and Haitham Cruickshank, University of SurreyThe Brave New World of Online Digital Home Entertainment
The emergence of widespread broadband home Internet connectivity is leading to achange in patterns of home user online behavior. Innovative networked applications(e.g., online multimedia and gaming) are making their mark. Will the next killer Internet applications be new forms of online digital home entertainment?
Jason But, Thuy T.T. Nguyen, and Grenville Armitage, Swinburne University of TechnologyBringing Multimedia Contents into MP3 Files
The digital music revolution has improved the availability of music and made it easier to enjoy. The shift from hard support, such as audio CDs, to software leaves some unsatisfied by the loss of additional media contents, such as images, lyrics, and CD cover. The authors proposes to fill the gap by enriching e-music with multimedia contents.
Lavinia Egidi and Marco Furini, Università del Piemonte OrientaleLarge-Scale Cooperative Caching and Application-Level Multicast in Multimedia Content Delivery Networks
The Internet and multimedia technologies have greatly changed our lives. With the increasing popularity of multimedia entertainment applications over the Internet, innovative infrastructures and technologies are needed to efficiently distribute the surging amount of multimedia contents. Content delivery networks provide an intermediate layer of infrastructure that helps to deliver the contents from content providers to a large community of geographically distributed users.
Jian Ni, Yale University and Danny H. K. Tsang, HKUSTLatency-Driven Distribution: Infrastructure Needs of Participatory Entertainment Applications
The authors evaluate network and server infrastructure requirements to support real-time flows associated with networked entertainment applications. These include the state information flow to update the status of the virtual environment and immersive communication flows.

Implementation of IPv6 Services over a GMPLS-Based IP/Optical Network
The authors discuss next-generation network architecture evolution and present a detailed architecture for transport of emerging IPv6 services and applications over next-generation GMPLS multiservice backbone networks.
Mallik Tatipamula and Francois Le Faucheur, Cisco Systems; Tomohiro Otani, KDDI; Hiroshi Esaki, University of TokyoTracing Cyber Attacks from the Practical Perspective
The integrity of the Internet is severely impaired by rampant denial of service and distributed DoS attacks. It is by no means trivial to devise a countermeasure to address these attacks because of their anonymous and distributed nature.
Zhiqiang Gao and Nirwan AnsariExtensions for Internet QoS Paradigms to Mobile IP: A Survey
Mobile IP has been chosen as the core mobility management mechanism for wireless LANs, 3G cellular networks, and, most recently, aeronautical networks.It is viewed as a key element in providing a universal roaming solution across different wireless access technologies. However, Mobile IP in its basic form inherits the IP incapability to provide QoS guarantees.
