From Self-Organizing Systems Group
|
The Emmy Noether Research Group of Thomas Fuhrmann studies self-organization in computer networks and distributed computing systems. Their results are being applied to adhoc networks, embedded systems, the Internet, peer-to-peer software, and high performance computing. The group is funded by several research grants, both from the federal government and the German Research Foundation |

Today's featured project:
Videgor – A Distributed Video Disk Recorder
Videgor is a peer-to-peer hard disc video recorder. With its help it is possible to record missed broadcasts from the past. Videgor is based on a extension of Klaus Schmidinger's Video Disk Recorders (VDR). VDR is a program that converts a Linux PC into a video disc recorder with time shifting capabilities. Videgor extends the VDR to a distributed video recorder (D-VDR) by including a plugin and automatically connecting the participating devices to a peer-to-peer network (IGOR). With this peer-to-peer system the Videgor recorders can share recordings.
