Abstract (EN):
This paper presents the approach used in the ENTHRONE IST project to provide context and QoS-aware multimedia services. Through its Integrated Management Supervisor (IMS) system, ENTHRONE enables the distribution of multimedia content with dynamic end-to-end QoS guarantees over heterogeneous networks to different client devices. At its core is the adoption of open standards such as MPEG-21 and Web Services. The former, in particular MPEG-21 DIA, is instrumental to adapt multimedia content to the end-user terminals capabilities and to network conditions in order to achieve the best possible quality. The latter is instrumental to facilitate service provision to a wide range of devices. The integration of both technologies is facilitated by the fact that both are based in XML
