ABSTRACT
Ubiquitous multimedia services are formed by coalescing wireless communication into distributed multimedia systems. Content and service provisioning becomes problematic as many of the access devices are restricted in terms of processing, information display and network data rates, therefore, content must be suited to the user's preferences, usage context, device capabilities and network conditions. Since content may have to be converted into several intermediate forms to get into its final desired adapted form, content adaptation becomes multi-step process involving a number of services each performing a specific adaptation operation.
This paper proposes the requirements and architecture of the Content Adaptor entity which is part of the Adaptation Management Framework (AMF). The content Adaptor is responsible for executing adaptation decisions by calling and using one or more internal or external adaptation services implementing different adaptation mechanisms (ADME).
