Middleware Support for Multicast-Based Data Dissemination

This project incorporates both applied and fundamental research investigations. On the applied research side, it focuses on the design and implementation of middleware for multicast data dissemination that transparently provides applications with a flexible array of data management services. On the fundamental research side, our project seeks to develop optimal algorithms for each component, and provide an insight into the functional synergy between the different components. For a more detail description of our project, see our white paper ( html , pdf ) .
