We are seeing an explosive proliferation of multimedia content made available on the
Internet. Multimedia applications have a multipartite nature where content has to be …

Multimedia applications, such as video‐conferencing and video‐on‐demand, often require
quality of service (QoS) guarantees from the network, typically in the form of minimum …

A new efficient multiple-searching genetic algorithm is presented for constructing minimum-
cost multicast trees. In order to have computers successfully become consumer electronics …

QoS multicast routing is a non-linear combinatorial optimization problem. It tries to find a
multicast routing tree with minimal cost that can satisfy constraints such as bandwidth, delay …

Multimedia applications are usually resource intensive, have stringent quality of service
requirements, and in many cases involve large groups of participants. Multicasting is poised …

Most of the multimedia applications require strict quality of service (QoS) guarantee during
the communication between a single source and multiple destinations. This gives rise to the …

In the paper we introduce a group members arrangement as a new parameter for analyzing
multicast routing algorithms finding multicast trees. We also propose a new multicast routing …

Most of the multimedia applications require strict quality of service (QoS) guarantee during
the communication between a single source and multiple destinations. This gives rise to the …

Researchers have proposed the core-based trees (CBT) and protocol independent
multicasting protocols to route multicast data on Internet works. Algorithms utilizing CBT …

Group multicast routing problem (GMRP) is a generalization of multicasting whereby every
member of the group is allowed to multicast messages to other members from the same …
