Abstract

Today's Internet has evolved from an early experimental small-scale network to a world-wide network which infrastructure that is used on a day to day basis by companies, public bodies, governments, individuals etc. Many shortcomings of the Internet have been addressed over the last years as "add-ons", but recently many "Future Internet" initiatives have been started with the challenge to re-design the Internet to meet the future challenges. Since the majority of multimedia systems and applications are depending on the Internet we aim in this tutorial to give an overview on ongoing initiatives, identify new concepts and study how they might be leveraged for multimedia systems and applications.
