Many emerging mobile applications and services require playback of streaming media. In this paper we describe an adaptable system architecture to implement mobile streaming services. The main components of this architecture are the streaming server, the multicast proxy and the mobile client. The main novelty of our approach lies on the client which is designed to fit most mobile devices. The st...

Why does music listening in streaming services seem tied to a superstar economy despite the plenitude of digital music? This article explores what we label paradox: way which at outset produces narrowness as outcome. Based on dissection interfaces services, interviews with stakeholders, and analyses user data, introduces six key gatekeeping mechanisms (and concepts) work platforms. These are co...

Adaptive streaming is a promising technique for delivering a high-quality video streaming experience. In this technique, the streaming bit-rate is constantly adjusted in accordance to the variations in the underlying network bandwidth conditions. A popular instantiation of this approach is to extend traditional HTTP-based streaming. While several such implementations are widely available, it is...

Large scale e-Research environments face classical distributed challenges: performance, heterogeneous equipment and variable contexts. The users of such infrastructures want to benefit from full interactive environments based on multimedia streams (voice, video, virtual reality) which are difficult to design and support on a large scale basis. In this paper, we present a new approach to support...

Web services such as Twitter and Facebook provide direct access to their streaming APIs. The data generated by all of their users is forwarded in quasi-real-time to any external client requesting it: this continuous feed opens up new ways to create mashups that differ from existing data aggregation approaches, which focus on presenting with multiple widgets an integrated view of the data that i...

Received Apr 10, 2017 Revised Aug 24, 2017 Accepted Aug 31, 2017 The issue on how to effectively deliver video streaming contents over cloud computing infrastructures is tackled in this study. Basically, quality of service of video streaming is strongly influenced by bandwidth, jitter and data loss problems. A number of intelligent video streaming algorithms are proposed by using different tech...

Multimedia streaming technology evolves in accordance with the growing needs of networked end-users for flexible and effective media delivery. The applicability of streaming media is further enhanced by the rapid evolution of the Internet. Our purpose is: (i) to review multimedia streaming technology with respect to the variety of multimedia applications, (ii) to assess the underlying Quality o...

The research of Video Streaming has often focused on the methodologies of P2P protocols, such as peer selection, network structure, group organization, etc. In addition, streaming mechanism and system deployment are significant to provide a Video Streaming service. Research in this field, however, is scant. On the other hand, the layered video codec provides scalability when environment is dive...

Streaming live content to mobile terminals has become prevalent. While there are extensive measurement studies of nonmobile live streaming (and in particular P2P live streaming) and video-on-demand (both mobile and non-mobile), user behavior in mobile live streaming systems is yet to be explored. This paper relies on over 4 million access logs collected from the PPTV live streaming system to st...
