Cloud gaming, as the emerging game service, has attracted significant attentions. However, traditional video streaming approach suffers from high bandwidth consumption, and traditional graphics streaming approach requires a long initial period to download game models. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid streaming framework, jointly applying video streaming and graphics streaming to provide...

Multimedia streaming applications are traditionally delivered over UDP. Recent measurements show that more and more multimedia streaming data are over TCP as web-based TV, P2P streaming, video sharing websites are getting increasingly popular. To improve the Quality of Experience (QoE) for users and to cope with variability in TCP throughput, streaming applications typically implement buffers. ...

| Due to the explosive growth of the Internet and increasing demand for multimedia information on the web, streaming video over the Internet has received tremendous attention from academia and industry. Transmission of real-time video typically has bandwidth, delay and loss requirements. However, the current best-e ort Internet does not o er any quality of service (QoS) guarantees to streaming ...

The increasing availability of continuous-media data is provoking a significant change in Internet workloads. For example, video from news, sports, and entertainment sites, and audio from Internet broadcast radio, telephony, and peer-to-peer networks, are becoming commonplace. Compared with traditional Web workloads, multimedia objects can require significantly more storage and transmission ban...

As various types of smart devices have recently appeared, SNS (Social Networking Services) have been expanded. Thus, the demand for social media streaming is on the rise. In the previous study, a media conversion system for ensuring QoS (Quality of service) of media streaming was presented. The presented system implemented a distributed streaming environment with multiple servers in order to pe...

This paper addresses the problem of choosing the best streaming policy for distortion optimal multipath video delivery, under delay constraints. The streaming policy consists in a joint selection of the video packets to be transmitted, as well as their sending time, and the transmission path. A simple streaming model is introduced, which takes into account the video packet importance, and the d...

Various investigations have suggested that cytoplasmic streaming in characean algae is driven by interaction between subcortical actin bundles and endoplasmic myosin. To further test this hypothesis, we have perfused cytotoxic actin-binding drugs and fluorescent actin labels into the cytoplasm of streaming Chara cells. Confirming earlier work, we find that cytochalasin B (CB) reversibly inhibit...

With the rapid growth of streaming media applications, there has been a strong demand of Quality-of-Experience (QoE) measurement and QoE-driven video delivery technologies. While the new worldwide standard dynamic adaptive streaming over hypertext transfer protocol (DASH) provides an inter-operable solution to overcome the volatile network conditions, its complex characteristic brings new chall...

By monitoring changes in electrokinetic parameters, the streaming potential technique has been used as a method of characterizing heterogeneous surfaces, for example, due to protein adsorption. In general it is assumed that the change in the streaming potential is proportional to the degree of heterogeneity. In this study a simple model of the electrokinetic flow through heterogeneous slit chan...
