Abstract
This paper presents the CAIN-21 multimedia adaptation engine, which facilitates the integration of pluggable multimedia adaptation modules, chooses the chain of adaptations to perform and manages its execution. Evolving from CAIN, CAIN-21 complies better with the MPEG-21 framework. Its new features and improvements are discussed in this paper. In addition, the pros and cons are explained with respect to others multimedia adaptation engines, including early CAIN.
Work financed by the European Commission (IST-IP-001765 – aceMedia, IST-FP6-027685 – MESH), the Spanish Government (TEC2007-65400 - SemanticVideo), the Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia of Spanish (through the FPU fellowship grant issued to the first author) and the Comunidad de Madrid (S-0505/TIC-0223 - ProMultiDis-CM).
