The conference was held from 10-13 May in Klagenfurt am Wöhrtersee, Austria.
The researchers received the award for their paper "Delivering Stable High-Quality Video: An SDN Architecture with DASH Assisting Network Elements” on video streaming over the internet. The paper describes a networking architecture for dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH). It is based on the Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm and provides a better performance for DASH streams in busy networks.
