  1. Freeband / I-Share Project Prof.dr.ir. R.L. Lagendijk Delft University of Technology Project Leader

  2. Freeband Communications Program (2004-2008) • Freeband Communication: • Dutch national research program • Leading knowledge position in ambientintelligent communication • Freeband vision for 2010: • Consider communication and information transfer from the perspective of the user (not the provider) • Communication infrastructure will become transparent and abundant • Eight collaborative academic/industrial projects: • Optical communications, wireless networks, network and service architecture, services in home environment http://www.freeband.nl

  3. I-Share Research Project … • One of the eight Freeband research projects • Concentrating on “sharing of resources for multimedia processing in virtual communities consisting of heterogeneous and transient nodes and networks”

  4. I-Share Research Project … • One of the eight Freeband research projects • Concentrating on “sharing of resources for multimedia processing in virtual communities consisting of heterogeneous and transient nodes and networks”

  5. I-Share Research Project … • One of the eight Freeband research projects • Concentrating on “sharing of resources for multimedia processing in virtual communities consisting of heterogeneous and transient nodes and networks” • In world that connects you to your “friends”, what technology is • needed for sharing • (disk) storage • wired/wireless (internet) connections • computing power • multimedia (and related) information • mutual interests/profiles • available among you and your friends in a way that is • simple to understand • efficient and scalable for the system • safe for you and the others

  6. I-Share Research Project Three multimedia processing case studies for which technology is researched: • Distributed processing and storage in domestic environment • Collaboration between computer and consumer devices in the home • Create new audio/video processing functionalities from devices (television, computers, …) you own • Distributed processing for wireless hand-held devices • Collaboration between a simple device such as PDA or mobile phone and Internet/backbone • Advanced/cheaper video capturing function on small devices • Peer-to-peer television (P2P-TV) • Focus of today’s workshop

  7. I-Share Research Project; P2P-TV Why is P2P technology of interest to I-Share? • Excellent example of creating added-value for an individual user and for the communication/ storage system by collaborating with others • Forms foundation for “sharing with your friends” (creating virtual communities) • Content (you can have what I have) • Interest profiles (you may like what I like) • Balances communication and storage demands (hence costs) in the network (opposed to server-client solutions) • Multitude of generic research challenges/state-of-art student training: Efficient internet protocols Efficient video streaming Understandable content navigation User profiling and recommending Protection of privacy Protection of rights … …

  8. I-Share Research Project; Tribler Why is Tribler of interest to I-Share? • In the international arena, P2P-TV is increasingly seen as viable and innovation-driving alternative to (server-client) IP-TV • P2P-TV client is inspiring and concrete vehicle for multidisciplinary research • Computer simulations in small scale lab environment are not enough to answer P2P research challenges. Real users with real networks and real content are needed. • Hence:

  9. I-Share Research Project: Why this Workshop? • I-Share project message to today's workshop participants: • the rapid emergence of a technological innovation with opportunities and threats for all parties involved in television production, distribution and consumption • I-Share takes away from today's workshop: • economic and legal possibilities and impossibilities for peer-to-peer television in Dutch broad/narrowcasting • technological issues that need to be solved if P2P-TV is to be introduced as an accepted, legal and successful alternative to existing television broadcasting systems
