NAPA-WINE Final Workshop 2011

Torino, January 20-21, 2011

NEW (02-Feb-2011): Session slides and videos are available on the Program page. Further material (incl. photos) here.

Overview

TV services over the Internet can be provided either exploiting IP multicast functionalities or relying on a pure end-to-end (P2P) approach. The P2P approach has been successfully exploited to overcome limitations of IP-based solutions (like reliance on the network infrastructure controlled by a single broadband operator) and can potentially offer a scalable planetary infrastructure.
Recently, several P2P-TV systems started to show up, with the last generation offering High Quality TV (P2P-HQTV) systems, providing a ubiquitous access to the service. These same potentialities of P2P-TV systems constitute a worry for network carriers since the traffic they generate may potentially grow without control, causing a degradation of quality of service perceived by Internet users or even the network collapse (and the consequent failure of the P2P-HQTV service itself!).

Workshop Program

The final NAPA-WINE workshop is intended as an informal forum for lively discussions on current and future trends in peer-to-peer live streaming. The program comprises three/four talks presenting the main NAPA-WINE achievements (and a demo) as well as nine/ten talks from external highly qualified researchers from both academia and industry, providing a broad and articulated perspective on the main challenges and solutions on the topic.

The workshop opens on Thursday 20th at 2.00 and closes on Friday afternoon at 5.30. External presentations are provided by:

• Presentations from other on-going European projects on P2P-TV/CDN:
  • Future Media Networks (FMN) cluster and ENVISION (David Griffin - UCL, UK)
  • COAST/SEA (Emanuele Quacchio, ST, IT)
  • P2P-NEXT (Raul Jimenez - KTH, SE)
  
  
• Presentations from the industrial world (the operator/content provider vision):
