My best while conceptually simplest research work till now has been accepted by Middleware'13 --- Efficient Batched Synchronization in Dropbox-like Cloud Storage Services! Luckily, this is the first time that Middleware comes to China.

I've started my new job at Tsinghua University in July, 2013 !

My first baby came to the world on June 26, 2013 ! God bless him !

I've passed the Ph.D. thesis defense on June 8, 2013 ! :)

☆ Efficient Batched Synchronization	✎ Acting as a middleware between the user's file storage system and a cloud storage application (e.g. Dropbox), our proposed UDS (i.e. update-batched delayed sync) mechanism properly batches updates from clients to minimize the "traffic overuse problem", while preserving the rapid file synchronization that users expect from cloud storage services. ♨ Paper was published in ACM/IFIP/USENIX Middleware'13.
☆ Cloud Bandwidth Scheduler	✎ efficiently schedules cloud bandwidth into end host peers to maximize the bandwidth multiplier effect with a fine-grained model and fast-convergent iterative algorithm ("FIFA"). This work is simulated on the *QQXuanfeng* system trace and is implemented on the CoolFish* VoD streaming prototype.* ♨ Paper was published in IEEE/ACM IWQoS'12.
☆ Cloud Transcoder	✎ bridges the format and resolution gap between Internet videos and mobile devices by utilizing an intermediate cloud platform. The user only sends his video request to Cloud Transcoder which does everything else: download, transcode, cache, transfer back, and so forth. ♨ Paper was published in SIGMM NOSSDAV'12.
★ **Cloud Download (or says Offline Download)**	✎ achieves high-quality content distribution (especially for unpopular videos) by using cloud utilities to guarantee the data health and enhance the data transfer rate. Please try the large-scale QQXuanfeng Cloud Download system! ♨ Paper was published in ACM-MM'11* as a Long Paper*.
★ **Cloud Tracker (or says Open-P2SP content distribution)**	✎ dynamically tracks and integrates various third-party servers, contents and data transfer protocols all over the Internet into a large, open and federated P2SP (peer-to-server/peer) platform, so as to accelerate the content distribution from servers to clients and among peer swarms. It also facilitates load-balancing among the involved servers. Please try the large-scale *QQXuanfeng* system! ♨ Papers were published in ACM-MM'11* Doctoral Symposium* and TPDS.
★ *P2P Media Streaming Optimization*	✎ optimizes several critical performance metrics (i.e., playback continuity, startup latency, media source switching time, overlay resilience, etc.) of P2P video streaming. ♨ Papers were published in IPDPS'08, ICPP'08, 《软件学报》'08, ICPP'09, JPDC'10, ICPADS'10, ICCCN'11, TPDS'11, TOMCCAP'12, etc.
