- A Method for Context-Aware Video Ads Dissemination through WiFi-Cellular Hybrid Network: Professor Keiichi Yasumoto will give a talk in our group meeting (03/03/2009). The talk title is "A Method for Context-Aware Video Ads Dissemination through WiFi-Cellular Hybrid Network" and below is the short abstract.
In this talk, we propose a method for video ads dissemination through a hybrid network consisting of WiFi and cellular networks, to provide timely delivery of video ads with preferred content to users according to the users' contexts. In our proposed method, we assume that each mobile terminal automatically selects some video ads and sets the deadline of receiving each ad according to the user context, and the file of each video ad is divided into small-sized chunks. Our method allows mobile terminals in the same WiFi radio range download different chunks and exchange the chunks with each other over WiFi communication so that the cellular network usage becomes as small as possibleCreated by Long Vu, Mar 3, 2009

- Releasing the PPLive crawler code: PPLive is one of the largest and most popular deployed peer to peer streaming systems in the world currently. Our project focuses on measuring the overlay characteristics of this system. In particular, we develop a crawler to actively crawl peers attending PPLive channels. The project has drawn significant attention from research community.
As many researchers in Brazil, France, Korea, China, USA and Taiwan email us and request for the PPLive crawler code. We decide to release the crawler, version 1.0

Title: UbiREAL: Simulator for Testing Smartspace Applications
In this talk, we propose a simulator for facilitating reliable and inexpensive development of smartspace applications where each application software controls a lot of information appliances based on the state of external environment, user's contexts and preferences. The proposed simulator realistically reproduces behavior of application software on virtual devices in a virtual 3D space. For this purpose, the simulator provides functions to facilitate deployment of virtual devices in a 3D space, simulates communication among the devices from MAC level to application level, and reproduces the change of physical quantities (e.g., temperature) caused by devices (e.g., air conditioners). Also, we keep software portability between virtual devices and real devices. Through experiments, we confirmed that our simulator can conduct tests for smartspace applications in practical time, and that our simulator is useful for finding bugs in application software.Created by Thadpong Pongthawornkamol, Apr 13, 2007

- Live collaborative dance performance: On Friday, December 8, we had a very successful live collaborative dance performance with Ruzena Bajcsy's laboratory, at the UC Berkeley Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society. (CITRIS). This was the first public performance ever of a distance collaborative dance across thousands of miles using 3D video technology and synchrnoized in tele-immersive environment. We have proved that our approach can deliver very good, stable, syncrhnozied visual 3D tele-immersive data and environments for the dancers to investigate novel moves and new choreography
