Multimedia Content Delivery

I study Content Delivery, especially static video contents over large scale Content Delivery Networks. The originality of my approach resides on the deployment schemes:

• CDNs are implemented and deployed as Virtual Network Functions
• CDNs are deployed within the ISP Network
• I implemented and simulated several Collaboration Schemes to create a win-win ecosystem that benefits Content Providers, Internet Service Providers and Content Delivery Networks while improving End-Users' Quality of Experience

On top of proposing a Model, I formalized the Virtual CDN allocation problem and proposed several Heuristics to tackle both Service Chain creation and Service Embedding with both online and offline optimization processes.

Interdisciplinarity

I studied both Economic and Legal aspects of content delivery and related technologies.

•     I study the distribution of added value along the Content Delivery value chain, and propose disruptive models that fairly balance the revenue between every stakeholders. I proposed a competition-oriented architecture that allows the end-user to express its high-level needs and implements hist Content Streaming Sessions through an on-line brokering mechanism.
•     I'm interested in the impacts on net-neutrality of new content distribution models
•     I teamed-up with law coauthors to propose a trust and sincerity improvement mechanism for blockchain and smart contracts.
