Opis

Ubiquitous computing is the concept of embedding many heterogeneous devices within our everyday environment in such a way that they operate seamlessly and become transparent to the person using them. It covers a wide range of applications and services, but of particular interest is multimedia resource adaptation which involves customization and dynamic adaptation of resources according to usage environments and user preferences; this aims to provide consumers with transparent access. This book explores the consumption of multimedia resources in the ubiquitous computing environment. First, the book focuses on the delivery and adapation of multimedia resources in an end-to-end system and its session transfer. Next, the book considers the foregoing work on the customization of multimedia resources in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network.
