Accomplishment

We developed a methodology and algorithms for the design of broadcast-based information delivery systems.

• Broadcast-based information delivery is well suited for satellite communication and provision of popular content through the Internet
• Existing applications like DirecPC, Marimba, etc., may benefit from the push/pull and caching methodolgy we developed.
