P2P systems

Abstract

 I-SHARE is a project on sharing technology at different levels in wired and wireless P2P systems. It is part of the BSIK programmme Freeband. As a guiding example, we are defining an architecture for P2P-TV, a P2P system for the dissemination of both live and recorded programs of 10,000+ TV channels. Research issues are how to do recommendations to users on TV programs, how to design the user interface, how to build application-level multicast trees for distributing live video, and in general, how to share the contents of individual video recordings on users' hard disks.
