for the provision of scalable live video streaming services
over the Internet. While the literature contains surveys of
the architectures of these systems, there is a lack of work
on methodologies for their evaluation. We identify the main
issues in the evaluation of P2P live streaming systems and
use the Community Network Game (CNG) project as an ex-
ample to illustrate them. The evaluation of the P2P sys-
tem consists of two phases: a laboratory one using the ns-2
network simulator and an online field test with Massively
Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG) players.1 aBouras, Christos1 aKapoulas, Vaggelis1 aPapazois, Andreas1 aAhmad, S1 aHamzaoui, R1 aSahni, A1 aSimon, G1 aBuyukkaya, Elyia  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/evaluating-p2p-live-streaming-systems-cng-case?language=en01341nas a2200181   4500008004100000245009100041210006900132260002000201520067600221100002100897700002200918700001300940700001600953700001600969700001300985700001300998856014801011       2010                        eng d00aThe Community Network Game Project: Enhancing Collaborative Activities in Online Games0 aCommunity Network Game Project Enhancing Collaborative Activitie  c14 - 15 October3 aThe EU-funded Community Network Game (CNG)
project aims at enhancing collaborative activities between
Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG) players. This
will be achieved by developing new tools for the generation,
distribution and insertion of user-generated content (UGC) into
existing MMOGs without changing the game code and without
adding new processing or network loads to the MMOG central
servers. This UGC may include items (e.g., textures, 3D objects)
to be added to the game and live video captured from the game
screen and streamed to other players. We present the objectives
of the project, focusing on its main scientific and technological
contributions.1 aBouras, Christos1 aPapazois, Andreas1 aAhmad, S1 aHamzaoui, R1 aPerelman, E1 aSahni, A1 aSimon, G  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/community-network-game-project-enhancing-collaborative-activities-online-games?language=en01745nas a2200193   4500008004100000245010300041210006900144260002100213520102900234100002101263700002201284700002401306700001301330700001601343700001601359700001301375700001301388856015001401       2010                        eng d00aThe Community Network Game Project: Enriching Online Gamers Experience with User Generated Content0 aCommunity Network Game Project Enriching Online Gamers Experienc  cNovember 21 - 263 a<p>One of the most attractive features of Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) is the possibility for users to interact with a large number of other users in a variety of collaborative and competitive situations. Gamers within an MMOG typically become members of active communities with mutual interests, shared adventures, and common objectives. We present the EU funded Community Network Game (CNG) project. The CNG project will provide tools to enhance col- laborative activities between online gamers and will develop new tools for the generation, distribution and insertion of user generated content (UGC) into existing MMOGs. CNG will allow the addition of new engaging community services without changing the game code and without adding new processing or network loads to the MMOG central servers. The UGC considered by the CNG project includes 3D objects and graphics as well as video to be shared using peer-to-peer (P2P) technology. We describe the concept, innovations, and objectives of the project.</p>
