Project Overview

A peer to peer video distribution platform named VidAs is being developed by UCD's Performance Engineering Laboratory. Its purpose will be to distribute large content libraries on a considerable scale. My ODCSSS project involves integrating this system with Facebook. The required capabilities include:
  • mapping between VidAs and Facebook user IDs;
  • showing most recent downloads of video content among connected users;
  • identifying popular content among friends;
  • facilitating access to such content by developing an interface to the VidAs system.
This project will enable connected friends to remotely share video viewing preferences, thereby enhancing social connectedness.
