DISI Sub-project details

Project astract This project is targeting an extension of a currently active IST project dealing with personalisation issues. The extension will rely on the development of intelligent and automatic audiovisual stream management tools, both from the content provider and from the final consumer points of view. We will integrate the innovative management of multimedia contents offered by different providers together with a personalised access to this information through universal multiplatform interfaces, taking advantage of existing standardisation efforts on MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 and delivering the contents through UMTS terminals and conventional e-learning Internet portals. The main objectives of this project will be: - Definition of a customisable architecture for the development of personalised services for multimedia contents. - To develop generic components for such an architecture, and to use current standards to implement the interfaces among these components. - To customise and adapt background agent based technologies directed towards personalisation aspects of multimedia retrieval, as well as to extend these technologies to Universal Multimedia Access technologies. - To specify, implement and install 2 personalised services, which demonstrate the adequacy of the proposed framework in 3 different scenarios: conventional PC Internet interfaces, digital TV and UMTS cellular terminals. Where needed, GPRS developments will be used as an advance to UMTS services. - To evaluate the generic architecture and the pilot applications in end user trials.
