Definition
Utility model-based adaptation is used to provide the best possible experience to the user consuming multimedia content under given user preferences, device, and network constraints.
Introduction
Today, multimedia content must be distributed to different devices such as desktop computers, PDAs, and mobile phones. In many delivery situations, the clients are unable to receive and process the content in original quality because of resource limitations, e.g., limited network throughput. One approach to deal with this problem is to employ adaptation of the multimedia content to the actual usage context in order to comply with the given device/network capabilities and constraints. Under the vision of Universal Multimedia Access (UMA) [1], such adaptive multimedia systems have for several years attracted significant research efforts. Typical adaptive multimedia frameworks to date try to consider the technical...
