Adaptive Internet Multimedia Streaming

External homepage: http://adimus.nr.no/adimus/index.php/Main_Page

The goal of the ADIMUS project is to implement methods that adapt to service quality changes, in order to maximise the end-user's subjective experience. Adaptation mechanisms will include QoS reservations, encoding schemes and parameters, routing, etc. The end-to-end service quality will be modeled, and formulas for quality estimates will be developed that express the perceived end user quality. Issues like inter-dependencies between media streams, special requirements for non-entertainment media streams (e.g., medical applications), and modern transmission technologies (e.g., wireless, peer-to-peer) will be included in the research.
