Mobile Multimedia Services - Content Adaptation

This paper introduces theoretical backgrounds and necessary architecture to integrate mobility with adaptive multimedia services. The presented approach allows for 'anytime - anywhere' access to mobile services by adapting media (text, images and video) and user interfaces for a wide variety of fixed and mobile devices. Furthermore, the proposed 'Princess' platform supports a dynamic service creation and delivery process by offering tools for the content and connection providers, including billing, push type of delivery, and personalisation. The implemented platform has been validated with a set of pilot services.
