The key to address this problem is media adaptation to various and dynamically changing contexts in order to provide a service quality that is regarded as satisfactory by the end user. The adaptation can be performed in many ways and at different locations, e.g., at the edge and within the network resulting in a substantial number of issues to be integrated within a media ecosystem. This paper describes research challenges, key innovations, target research outcomes, and achievements so far for edge and in-network media adaptation by introducing the concept of Scalable Video Coding (SVC) tunneling.}, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TEMU.2012.6294710}, keywords = {distributed adaptation decision-taking; SVC tunneling; research challenges; in-network adaptation; content-aware networking}, language = {EN}, location = {Heraklion, Greece}, pdf = {https://www.itec.aau.at/bib/files/TEMU2012_mgrafl.pdf}, talkdate = {2012.07.31}, talktype = {registered} }
