Overlay journals are not a new concept but have been experiencing recent resurgence because of the increase in number preprint servers and preprints on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) related topics. This study examines overlay at various stages maturity for unique characteristics, including whether authors submitted their article to journal reviews published by journal. Whether they consid...

In this paper, we focus on the problem of providing lightweight support at selected intermediate overlay forwarding nodes to achieve increased error resilience on a single peer-based overlay path for point-to-point video streaming. We propose a novel "Overlay Multi-hop FEC" (OMFEC) scheme that is flexible and considers the error characteristics of each overlay hop. We partition the end-to-end o...

This chapter describes a novel approach to Grid and overlay network research that leverages distributed infrastructures and multi-core machines enabling increased simulation complexity and speed. We present its motivation, background, current shortcomings and the core architectural concepts of the novel research proposed. This is an on-going effort to further our peer-to-peer cycle-sharing plat...

Structured peer-to-peer overlay networks have recently emerged as good candidate infrastructure for building novel large-scale and robust Internet applications in which participating peers share computing resources as equals. In the past three year, various structured peer-to-peer overlay networks have been proposed, and probably more are to come. We present a framework for understanding, analy...

In the next generation Internet, the network will evolve from a plain communication medium into one that provides endless services to the users. These services will be composed of multiple cooperative distributed application elements. We name these services overlay applications. The cooperative application elements within an overlay application will build a dynamic communication mesh, namely an...

Implementing overlay software is non-trivial and time-consuming. Current projects build overlays or intermediate frameworks on top of low-level networking abstractions. This leads to far reaching incompatibilities between overlay implementations, tight coupling to frameworks and limited adaptability to different deployment environments. We present a new approach to rapid overlay implementation ...
