Abstract
With the increasing number of networked devices, multimedia applications require additional functionality inside the network in order to adapt multimedia streams. In this field, much research work has been proposed; however, the dynamic configuration and the reconfiguration at run-time of such services remain little studied. This paper addresses these issues and describes a framework for the dynamic configuration and the reconfiguration of network-based media adaptation. We show through experimental evaluations that besides adaptations, reconfiguration can improve significantly the performance of client applications with a minimal cost.
