About Project Noja

Project Noja was originally started as a research project at the Technische Universität Ilmenau, Germany in 2001 and is now continued at Simula Research Laboratory, Oslo, Norway. Noja used to investigate the potential of content-aware protocol designs for Internet-based multimedia streaming applications. Currently, we aim to improve and disseminate the results from our research to application developers. We also provide a platform for discussions and sharing of ideas, experiences and source code. You are free to copy, distribute and build upon the work published at Project Noja under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 and the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike License. All researchers, students, developers and interested people are welcome to contribute.
