NEWS: I have accepted a tenure-track faculty position at the EECS department of Vanderbilt University. You can find my new homepage at

http://eecs.vuse.vanderbilt.edu/people/yicui.

I am a Ph.D student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I expect to graduate in summer 2005.

My research interest includes distributed systems and computer networks with a focus on overlay network, peer-to-peer system, multimedia system, ubiquitous computing and wireless network. Here are some of my representative publications.

• [new] Yuan Xue, Yi Cui, and Klara Nahrstedt, A Utility-based Distributed Maximum Lifetime Routing Algorithm for
  Wireless Networks, to appear in the second International Conference on Quality of Service in Heterogeneous Wired/Wireless Networks (QShine), 2005.

• [new] Yi Cui, Yuan Xue, and Klara Nahrstedt, Optimal Resource Allocation in Overlay Multicast, to appear in IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, 2005.

• Yi Cui, Baochun Li, and Klara Nahrstedt, oStream: Asynchronous Streaming Multicast in Application-Layer Overlay Networks, IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, Special Issue on Recent Advances in Service Overlays, vol. 22, no. 1, 2004. [pdf]

• Yi Cui, Klara Nahrstedt, and Dongyan Xu, Seamless User-level Handoff in Ubiquitous Multimedia Service Delivery, Multimedia Tools and Applications Journal (ACM/Kluwer), Special Issue on Mobile Multimedia and Communications and m-Commerce, vol. 22, no. 2, 2004. [pdf]
