An important and unsolved problem today is that of automatic quantification of the quality of
video flows transmitted over packet networks. In particular, the ability to perform this task in …

The Random Neural Network (RNN) has received, since its inception in 1989, considerable
attention and has been successfully used in a number of applications. In this critical review …

A real time facial puppetry system is presented. Compared with existing systems, the
proposed method requires no special hardware, runs in real time (23 frames-per-second) …

With the exponential rise in the development, deployment and use of Internet applications in
recent years, communication paradigms are continuously flooded with unmatched …

In order to ensure optimal quality of experience toward end users during video streaming,
automatic video quality assessment becomes an important field-of-interest to video service …

Abstract Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are increasingly deployed to enable thousands of
users to share, create, and access live video streaming with different characteristics and …

Multimedia applications and particularly MPEG-coded video streams are becoming major
traffic components in high speed networks. Traffic prediction is important in enhancing the …

This paper proposes a new and accurate way of predicting the end-to-end performance of a
multimedia stream. It consists of coupling an approach we have previously developed …

We introduce a modular methodology for evaluating the perceived quality of video streams
in simulated packet networks through the use of artificial neural networks. One particular …

Managing quality of service (QoS) is an important network operation, especially in hybrid
wired and wireless multimedia networks. In this study, a two‐stage approach to intelligently …
