Personalization in Media Delivery Platforms
9 - 11 December- Venice
More and more people are coming to expect that the Internet experience be tailored to their needs, their preferences, their hardware and software configurations, their network connections and their behaviour patterns in a seamless and invisible manner. The Future Internet faces important challenges to address these expectations. The goal of this workshop is to focus on these challenges and to provide a forum where possible solutions to some of them can be presented.
Some of the technical issues that may be addressed are:
Novel technologies for HD media content distribution over mobile and other last mile access networks - DVB-T, DVB-H, WiMax...
Multi-view, multi-camera and/or multi-event high compression scalable video encoding algorithms
Personalised media streaming over heterogeneous networks
Novel network services enabling delivery of personalized streams
Advanced personalization mechanisms that hinge on the specification of preferences and profiles associated with broadcasting options or previous behaviour.
Broadcasting services enabling delivery of personalized streams over a variety of channels and networking infrastructures, including mobile networks.
As explained above, personalisation is increasingly central to Future Media Internet. Content providers will need to adapt their offerings to what the client wants, consumer applications will need to be behave according to what the consumer asks for, personalisation can allow for optimisation of bandwidth use, usability can be greatly enhanced, etc. For all of these reasons this workshop will be of interest to most researchers in the Future Media Internet communities:
Network specialists
End user media application developers
Identity, profile and context management specialists
Video encoding specialists
Content providers
Usability experts
