Considering a multi-class domain where traffic is controlled at network boundaries based on feedback from on-line measurements, the present work is centered on obtaining adequate per class in-band p...

In an accompanying paper [1], we propose a new, low-cost technique that utilizes computer vision for real-time polling of large audiences. Our approach allows a presenter to ask a multip...
