SCIENTIFIC CONTEXT

Within the BPI-founded « Smart-CD » i-Demo project, the multimedia group at Telecom Paris will investigate new strategies for multimedia packaging and streaming over HTTP, targeting more efficiency than the methods currently used within CDNs, especially concerning content publishing and multicast distribution. The work will consist in studying of existing protocols (ROUTE, FLUTE, DVB-I …), defining possible strategies for dealing with losses and evaluating their impact on the global quality of experience (latency, visual quality, etc.).
