MyMedia: Mobile Semantic Peer-to-Peer V...

Mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) computing with applications such as for video on demand, file sharing, and video conferencing is gaining momentum based on new standards and technologies such as IETF PPSP, WiFi-Direct and BitTorrent live streaming.
In this paper, we describe the mobile system MyMedia, that allows users to search, share and experience videos and live recordings using P2P and at the best quality possible with respect to available network capacity. In particular, the MyMedia system features a high-precision semantic P2P search and dynamic network-adaptive
P2P live streaming of MPEG videos over HTTP based on the ISO/IEC standard MPEG-DASH from mobile to mobile devices in unstructured wireless P2P networks.
These features have been integrated in the mobile application TIFF EventLive of the 54th Thessaloniki international film festival. The evaluation of their performance and device energy consumption, and a first user evaluation at the festival showed that the MyMedia system is suitable and accepted by users for its purpose in practice.
The MyMedia system is available as open-source software for the Android operating system.
