“…Fully MPEG-21 DIA-based decision taking engines are also used in [8] and [9]. Further, Szwabe et al describe in [20] how dynamic media adaptation based on a rate control scheme is realized through an MPEG-21 DIA-based Adaptation Decision Taking Engine (ADTE), while Köhncke et al make use of preference graphs and composition algorithms for adaptation tools [12].…”

In this paper, we introduce a Media Decision Taking Engine (MDTE), enabling the automatic selection and/or rating of multimedia content versions, based on the available context information. The presented approach is fully semantic-driven, which means that we not only semantically model the context information, but also the decision algorithms themselve, which are represented in N3Logic, a rule language that extends RDF. The decision rules are based on a rating function, supporting the specification of weights and affinity parameters for each environment property. Finally, we show how the MDTE is integrated in a media delivery platform, using the provisions of the existing Web infrastructure.

The ability to mark-up live sports event content, viewed from multiple camera angles, such that athletes and other objects of interest can be tracked, facilitates an exciting new personalised and interactive viewing experience for spectators, enabling spectators to act as directors of their own customised live sports videos. In this paper, such an approach is described as part of the My-e-Director 2012 project. The design of this platform is described here and a discussion of a prototype system is given.

“…This processing is computationally cheap and can even be performed by off-the-shelf network devices [22]. The gBSD-based adaptation was used as a basis for our work since it was already intensively evaluated and deployed as part of various EC-funded projects (DANAE [7,19], ENTHRONE [9,41]). …”

This paper presents a cross-layer modelformulated using interoperable description formats-for the adaptation of scalable H.264/MPEG-4 AVC (i.e., SVC) content in a video streaming system operating on a Wireless LAN access network without QoS mechanisms. SVC content adaptation on the server takes place on the application layer using an adaptation process compliant with the MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaptation (DIA) standard, based on input comprised of MPEG-21 DIA descriptions of content and usage environment parameters. The latter descriptions integrate information from different layers, e.g., device characteristics and packet loss rate, in an attempt to increase the interoperability of this cross-layer model, thus making it applicable to other models. For the sake of deriving model parameters, performance measurements from two wireless access point models were taken in account. Throughout the investigation it emerged that the behavior of the system strongly depends on the access point. Therefore, we investigated the use of endto-end-based rate control algorithms for steering the content adaptation. Simulations of rate adaptation algorithms were subsequently performed, leading to the conclusion that a TFRC-based adaptation technique (TCP-Friendly Rate Control) performs quite well in adapting to limited bandwidth and varying network conditions. In the paper we demonstrate how TFRC-based content adaptation can be realized using MPEG-21 tools.
