Key research themes

1. How can network architectures and protocols optimize multimedia transmission over heterogeneous networks?

This research area investigates architectural and protocol solutions to efficiently handle multimedia data transmission across multiple network types (satellite, wireless, wired) that differ in QoS characteristics such as bandwidth, delay, and loss ratios. It addresses challenges posed by the TCP/IP model, new multimedia application demands, and the integration of different underlying network technologies to maintain end-to-end performance and service continuity.

Key finding: Proposes the MMPOC-MN protocol, a transport mechanism based on partial order and reliability guarantees that leverages parallel and serial multi-networking concepts to exploit multiple network paths or serially cross diverse... Read more
Key finding: Analyzes system software requirements for digital continuous media (DCM) applications, emphasizing resource reservation at the network layer and real-time scheduling at the OS layer. Introduces design principles like moving... Read more
Key finding: Develops a digital video library system integrating QoS control via RSVP in IPv6 multicast environments to ensure streaming video quality over point-to-multipoint sessions. The system facilitates efficient video content... Read more
Key finding: Presents early implementations and testing of media delivery over QUIC protocol, highlighting novel client-side rate adaptation mechanisms that leverage QUIC’s multiplexing and congestion control features to enable scalable,... Read more
Key finding: Introduces Internet Media Guides (IMGs), a protocol and framework to describe, distribute, and update multimedia content metadata independently of delivery networks and distribution mechanisms. IMGs enable flexible, scalable,... Read more

2. What are the organizational, production, and economic implications of digital transformation in media industries?

This theme focuses on how digital, networked media technologies reshape production workflows, business models, professional practices, and industry structures. It explores the economic transitions due to digital networks, the emergence of digital native media, and changing audience behaviors, emphasizing the challenges and strategies media organizations adopt to operate efficiently and creatively in a distributed digital environment.

Key finding: Provides a comprehensive analysis of how technological, political, economic, and social transformations redefine media production and professional practices. It underlines the hybridization of media professions and the... Read more
Key finding: Systematizes research on digital native media, highlighting their distinct organizational and economic models compared to legacy media, and elucidates their role in shaping current media ecosystems. It identifies key areas... Read more
Key finding: Through empirical study of BBC’s Digital Media Initiative, it demonstrates that video production and distribution are becoming modular, flexible, and metadata-driven processes. The work emphasizes how digital video objects,... Read more
Key finding: Examines streaming both as an audience consumption tactic and an emergent industry strategy, with a focus on how digital platforms reconfigure media distribution and cultural engagement. It reveals streaming’s role in... Read more
Key finding: Analyzes the strategic shift in media industries from media-channel centricity towards content- and service-centric business models, explicating how digital networks dissolve former barriers, allowing content to flow across... Read more

3. How do new media networking structures shape political participation and digital democracy?

This research investigates the relationship between new media networks, network theory, and political participation. It explores how network structures—power distributions, inequalities, and interactivity—in new media affect citizen engagement, digital divides, and the potentialities and limits of digital democracy platforms.

Key finding: Shows that while new media networking platforms facilitate political participation—by disseminating information, mobilizing communities, and enabling criticism—structural inequalities persist due to network power laws and... Read more
