For packet video, information loss and bandwidth limitation are two factors that affect video playback quality. Traditional rate allocation approaches have focused on optimizing video quality under bandwidth constraint alone. However, in the best-effort Internet, packets carrying video data are susceptible to losses, which need to be reconstructed at the receiver side. In this paper, we propose loss aware rate allocations in both group-of-block (GOB) level and macroblock level, given that certain packets are lost during transmissions and reconstructed using simple interpolation methods at the receiver side. Experimental results show that our proposed algorithms can produce videos of higher quality …

Web personalization is the process of customizing a web site to the needs of each specific user or set of users, taking advantage of the knowledge acquired through the analysis of the user’s navigational behavior. The objective of the I-KnowUMine project (IKUM) is to develop an integrated platform (referred to in the paper as the “IKUM system”) that uses state of the art technology and research results from different application domains in order to provide the basis for the development of online services in a wide range of application areas, presenting personalized content, services and applications to users in a …
