- 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

- Guest talk by Mr. Morihiko Tamai from Japan in Monet meeting on Mar 27th: We are pleased to welcome Mr.Morihiko Tamai, a visitor from Japan, as our guest speaker in our MONET meeting on Mar 27th.
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
