Video traffic on the Internet is constantly growing; networked multimedia applications consume a predominant share of the available Internet bandwidth. A major technical breakthrough and enabler in multimedia systems research and of industrial networked multimedia services certainly was the HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) technique. This resulted in the standardization of MPEG Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH) which, together with HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), is widely used for multimedia delivery in today’s networks. Existing challenges in multimedia systems research deal with the trade-off between (i) the ever-increasing content complexity, (ii) various requirements with respect to time (most importantly, latency), and (iii) quality of experience (QoE). Optimizing towards one aspect usually negatively impacts at least one of the other two aspects if not both. This situation sets the stage for our research work in the ATHENA Christian Doppler (CD) Laboratory (Adaptive Streaming over HTTP and Emerging Networked Multimedia Services; https://athena.itec.aau.at/), jointly funded by public sources and industry. In this talk, we will present selected novel approaches and research results of the first year of the ATHENA CD Lab’s operation. We will highlight HAS-related research on (i) multimedia content provisioning (machine learning for video encoding); (ii) multimedia content delivery (support of edge processing and virtualized network functions for video networking); (iii) multimedia content consumption and end-to-end aspects (player-triggered segment retransmissions to improve video playout quality); and (iv) novel QoE investigations (adaptive point cloud streaming). We will also put the work into the context of international multimedia systems research.

Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?
** Episode Overview **

Benefits:
• Isolate what changes frequently
• Use BizTalk Server for the batch processing
• Use BizTalk Server for LOB integration
• Combine Service Bus & BizTalk for Throttling
• Expose Microservice API to new Consumers
• Autoscale where we need to, throttle where we don’t
• REUSE, REUSE
Editor's Notes
If we have an existing MPLS network with out network provider then we can work with the network provider to add Azure so it appears like another site on the WAN
By adding Azure to the MPLS network servers in Azure just appear like any other server on the WAN.
We can create a read only copy of AD in Azure to improve performance
Extended data centre opens up lots of opportunities for cloud hosted IaaS
Burst load
Dev / Test environments
Backup
Hardware reduction
Infrastructure cost saving
SQL Data Warehouse in Azure to support large scale compute based BI
How do we get the data to the data warehouse?
We wanted to bulk load data from databases in each site to a cloud hosted SQL Data Warehouse
MPLS network allows SSIS to reach the databases in each site
Express Route allows us to pull large amounts of data with good bandwidth
We were creating a global BizTalk development environment hosted in Azure
Most developers were easily able to access VM over public internet
In UK on premise restrictions stopped us doing that
Point to Site VPN was used to tunnel over HTTP using SSTP allowing developers to connect the VPN software and access VM
Customer moving infrastructure to cloud
BizTalk was being upgraded and they wanted to host new version in the cloud
BizTalk still needed to access many resources on premise with no significant re-development
This is also great for dev/test scenarios and temporary environments
Why did we choose Relay and not VPN
Cost
Setup Time
Fewer infrastructure challenges
Fail fast & Cheap
Don’t have to worry about controlling access to other resources, the endpoint is the only resource
Can easily expose to other consumers
Why not just expose the services publically
I don’t need to worry about my DMZ
I don’t need to worry about DOS
I don’t need extra infrastructure
Why did we use WCF Routing Service
Allowed us to expose non Microsoft technologies
Routing Service can forward calls to another web service
WCF Routing Service was a simple listener
We can control which services are exposed via routing rules
If you’re a BizTalk customer and you want to expose your integration processes in BizTalk outside of your organisation then Service Bus Relay is probably the easiest way you can do this.
Key Benefits
Decoupled architecture with API not aware of each business
Supports publish / subscribe pattern
One way and two way messaging
Plug in new business units
In this example BizTalk is using a SQL Query to get some recent changes, debatches them and then publishing event messages for each change
Service Bus Queues support a good on-premise to cloud integration pattern
Queues are a good way to deal with high volume event publishing
Receivers can be inside the organisation or outside of it
Key Benefits
Low cost
No infrastructure requirements
Queue is PaaS so can be accessed from anywhere
Supports the Pull based integration pattern
BizTalk Adapter Service is really about taking advantage of the LOB Adapter SDK + BizTalk Adapter Pack but in Cloud Scenarios
The Key benefits are around the simplicity for connecting to LOB applications
We chose the BizTalk Adapter Service because of the specialist capabilities for connecting to SAP or any other application we need to connect to
In the scenario we move the website to the cloud
We still need to connect to the on premise oracle data base
If we set up BizTalk Services Hybrid Connections we are able to reach through to the Oracle Database
We are unlikely to need to change any code our ODP.net code would be routed through hybrid connections simply by changing the connection string
Key Benefits
Migrate to the cloud with potentially no code changes
Can support almost any port so its open for a wide range of connectivity types
Lower level of abstraction than Service Bus Relay which is WCF this can be any port
Word of Caution
Your application authorization model may be affected if your no longer on premise
Lets take a look at a sample
We have BizTalk in the cloud wanting to call an on Premise WCF Service, which choices do I have?
[ASK AUDIENCE TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE THINK]
Key Points
Express Route wasn’t something we already had available so setting this up for this small initiative was a show stopper
Hybrid Connections was at a port level so could be used by more protocols but isn’t GA yet so the SLA was an issue for us
We had used Service Bus Relay many times it was something we were comfortable with in all areas around the business. Its restricted to WCF though
The local infrastructure team are new to Azure infrastructure and setting this up and the learning curve was too steep for initial project but there is an activity to introduce this for projects down the line because there are organisational benefits for other projects
