This paper presents the integration of scalable video coding (SVC) into a generic platform
for multimedia adaptation. The platform provides a full MPEG-21 chain including server …

This paper describes the file format defined for scalable video coding. Techniques in the file
format enable rapid extraction of scalable data, corresponding to the desired operating …

Defects due to process-design interaction have a systematic nature. Therefore they can
have a profound impact on yield. The capability to detect (and correct) them is a requirement …

Electronic documents are becoming increasingly rich in content and varied in format and
style while at the same time client devices are getting increasingly varied in their …

Abstract Universal Multimedia Access aims at providing a gratifying end user-experience by
either adapting the content, be it static or dynamic, to suit the usage environment or adapting …

This paper presents a cross-layer model—formulated using interoperable description
formats—for the adaptation of scalable H. 264/MPEG-4 AVC (ie, SVC) content in a video …

Multimedia content adaptation has been proved to be an effective mechanism to mitigate the
problem of devices and networks heterogeneity and constraints in pervasive computing …

This paper presents the CAIN-21 multimedia adaptation engine, which facilitates the
integration of pluggable multimedia adaptation modules, chooses the chain of adaptations …

Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is one of the most important and widely adopted performance
measurement methods, and especially its recently evolving usage for IT governance makes …

Today, there are many technologies in place to establish an infrastructure for the delivery
and consumption of multimedia content. In practice, however, several elements of such an …
