Crawling and Detecting Community Structure in Online Social Networks using Local Information

As Online Social Networks (OSNs) become an intensive sub- ject of research for example in computer science, networking, social sci- ences etc., a growing need for valid and useful datasets is present. The time taken to crawl the network is however introducing a bias which should be minimized. Usual ways of addressing this problem are sampling...

On-line Survivable Routing in WDM Networks

In WDM networks, survivable routing and wavelength assignment (SRWA) involves assigning link-disjoint primary and backup lightpaths. In the on-line SRWA problem, a sequence of requests arrive and each request is either accepted or rejected based only on the input sequence seen so far. For special networks, we establish on-line algorithms with...

Survivable Impairment-aware Traffic Grooming in WDM Rings

Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) optical networks offer a large amount of bandwidth using multiple, but independent wavelength channels (or lightpaths), each operating at several Gb/s. Since the traffic between users is usually only a fraction of the capacity offered by a wavelength, several independent traffic streams can be groomed...

Analytical Model for Mesh-based P2PVoD

Recently, there has been a growing interest in academic and commercial environments for Video-on-Demand (VoD) using Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology. Unlike centralized solutions for VoD services, P2P technology lets the clients distribute video content among themselves. In this paper, we propose an analytical model for P2PVoD and we compare that...

On the Quality of Experience of SopCast

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing has become immensely popular in the Internet. Recently, there has been a growing interest in academic and commercial enviornments for live streaming using P2P technology. A number of new P2P digital television (P2PTV) applications have emerged. Such P2PTV applications are developed with proprietary technologies...
