This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference
proceedings of the 7th International ICST Conference on Mobile
Multimedia Communications (MOBIMEDIA 2011) held in Cagliari, Italy,
in September 2011 The 26 revised full papers presented were
carefully selected from numerous submissions and focus topics such
as quality of experience, dynamic spectrum access wireless networks
in the TV white spaces, media streaming, mobile visual search,
image processing and transmission, and mobile applications.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Mobile Agents for Telecommunication Applications, MATA 2002, held in Barcelona, Spain, in October 2002. The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the proceedings. The papers are organized in topical sections on agent architecture, framework, and platforms; mobile agent frameworks for telecommunication services; mobile agents in active networks; context-aware and ad-hoc communications; distributed monitoring and network management; security of mobile agents; mobile computing and QoS; migration and network management; mobile services; and collaborative environments and services.

Creation Techniques for Software Development and Deployment,
Agent-Based Management, Virtual Home Environment, Integrated and
Scalable Solutions for Telecommunications Management. This shows
that the issues related to communications management,
architectures, and service creation are still of great interest,
while the virtual home environment is emerging as a new key topic
in IS&N. In summary, this book reflects the state of the art in
research on IS&N topics, with the focus mentioned above, not
only from European Union co-funded projects (mainly in the ACTS
programme), but also from research organisations around the globe.

Proceedings The first IS&N conference was organised in 1992 in
Paris, France. Since then, the IS&N conferences have been held
almost every year, with proceedings published as part of the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer-Verlag.
These are as follows. "Towards a Pan-European Telecommunication

Paving the Way for an Open Service Market We live in an age when
powerful communications technology is becoming available to
everyone. From our home we can send and receive not only analogue
voice, but also growing volumes of digital information and even
intelligence in the form of agents. We are becoming increasingly
mobile and are expecting the same level of connectivity in the
home, in the office, and on the road. The regulatory and commercial
environment in which we communicate is changing. The
telecommunications market is becoming increasingly competitive. The
Internet is erasing the borders between information technology and
telecommunications. And the way we do business is ever more
dominated by electronic exchanges of information. Is our technology
ready for the open market of networks and services? Can we manage
the growing complexity of computing and telecommunications
technology and place it at the service of the people? The challenge
for the research community is to develop the tools and techniques
that will ultimately bring the full power of communications and
information to everyone, in a way that everyone can easily use. The
Sixth International Conference on Intelligence in Services and
Networks (IS&N 99) is all about technology for paving the way
to the open services market. Since the first IS&N conference in
1992 the focus of the IS&N program has continually shifted. We
see existing technologies maturing while new ones emerge, but the
bottom line has always been putting technology at the service of
the people."
Is the author of an original work the owner of its intellectual
property rights? Can the exploitation rights be traded and handed
over different people, eventually transforming the original work?
If so, a media value chain can be defined where the different
parties exchange rights and content in a fair environment
acknowledging a common model. With this model, IT systems may
interoperate more easily and may grant that intellectual property
is respected. The Media Value Chain Ontology represents such a
model, and it has become part of the MPEG-21 standard, a Multimedia
Framework where any digital content can be protected, licensed and
consumed. This PhD Thesis was an important contribution for the
development of the standard, and those interested in their
inception will find this book very useful. On despite of being a
formal work, the text is enriched with multiple examples and
figures and it can be easily followed by readers interested either
in the MPEG-21 world, the architecture of rights-aware content
distribution systems, electronic contracts representation or
ontologies in general.
The starting point of this book is the work developed within the
Xarxa IP Audiovisual de Catalunya (XAe project in 2005-2006, in
which a group of content producers (mainly local televisions (TVs))
wanted to have the means of exchanging their multimedia contents.
From the obtained results, we could identify a number of important
issues that still needed to be addressed. Furthermore, our
contributions should be extensible to a generic distributed
multimedia scenario. Thus, our foremost requirement was to use open
standards. In line with the open issues previously identified, this
book presents five independent but related contributions. Our first
Contribution presents a proposed adaptation authorisation technique
based on MPEG-7 descriptors. Our second Contribution presents the
identification of a complete standardised set of context
descriptors, and an innovative approach for modelling them based on
profiles. Our third Contribution presents a novel adaptation
authorisation process based on the context profiles specified in
Contribution 2 which improves the efficiency of the adaptation
authorisation presented in Contribution 1.
