Content Storage and Delivery in Peer-to-Peer
Network
Special Issue of
IEEE Transactions on Multimedia
Guest Editors: Jin Li,
Klara Nahrstedt and Hui Zhang
In academia and in industry, peer-to-peer (p2p) networks have
been attracting great attention. Peer-to-peer file sharing
applications, such as Napster, Gnutella, Kazaa and BitTorrent have
witnessed tremendous success among end users. And the uses of
peer-to-peer network for multimedia streaming, conferencing, gaming,
file backup, and information retrieval are on the rise, attracting
attention from developers and the end-users. Unlike a client-server
based system, peers bring with them serving capacity. Therefore, as
the demand of a peer-to-peer system grows, the capacity of the
network also grows. This enables peer-to-peer based content storage
and delivery to be cheap to build and superbly scalable. The
peer-to-peer based solution is ideal to store and distribute large
amounts of data associated with multimedia applications. In this
special issue, we call for original contributions that support
secured, efficient, and reliable peer-to-peer content storage and
delivery.
The TOPICS of the special issue are as follows:
- Peer-to-peer asynchronous content distribution (media
file sharing)
- Peer-to-peer synchronous content distribution
(gaming/conferencing/AV broadcasting)
- Peer-to-peer on demand information retrieval
(audio/video streaming)
- Multimedia quality-of-service support in peer-to-peer
networks
- Content discovery and location in peer-to-peer
networks
- Performance measurement and monitoring of
peer-to-peer multimedia applications
- Peer-to-peer multimedia network deployment experience
- Security in peer-to-peer content distributions
