The rapid evolution in the hardware sector brought up various (mobile) end user devices like PDAs or cell phones on which online multimedia content can be consumed. Due to different capabilities of these devices as well as individual user preferences, the original multimedia resources have to be adapted in order to fit the specific devicesý constraints and to meet the usersý requirements. Given the high variety of possible adaptation operations both on the format as well as the content level, an intelligent multimedia server must be able to integrate multiple existing and specialized adaptation tools. In this paper, we demonstrate how the usage of modular software components and declarative descriptions of component behavior enables us to develop extensible multimedia adaptation systems. The precise semantics of the utilized functionality description mechanism as well as the defined vocabulary from existing and emerging multimedia standards also allows us to automatically assemble adaptation chains that are executed on a given resource involving multiple, externally provided software components.
