One example of this is in the cooperative deployment of adaptation and caching functionality in the edge network. This hybrid approach makes it possible not only to store content locally, thus minimising the cost incurred through subsequent requests, but also to better serve heterogeneous groups of users by dynamically adapting the content to suit a wide range of terminal devices. In this paper, we describe and evaluate how the cooperative deployment of MPEG-21-based adaptation and caching of MPEG-4 SVC can result in improvements both in the quality of the content received at the user terminal and the resources consumed during the delivery}, isbn13 = {9780769531304}, language = {EN}, pdf = {https://www.itec.aau.at/bib/files/Combined Adaptation and Caching of MPEG-4 SVC in Streaming Scenarios.pdf}, talktype = {none}, url = {http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/csdl/abs/proceedings/wiamis/2008/3130/00/3130toc.htm} }
