Seamless multimedia communication has the po-tential to create a future where people from all over the world live, work, and communicate in-dependently from any geographical constraints. The communication and information systems sup-porting this collaboration have to be performant, dependable, secure, and adaptable to user requi-rements.Therefore, future architectures for the Internet have to provide and utilize Quality of Service mechanisms. We have investigated these in the scope of context-aware heterogeneous IP-based infrastructures, including advanced peer-to-peer, sensor and ad hoc networking technology. Our findings in semantics, serious gaming, the Internet of services, overlay communications and self-

Multimedia Communications LabResearch towards Seamless Multimedia Communication

organization facilitates the envisioned seamless communication. Our research towards this vision is based on diffe-rent technologies. While focusing on science, we never lose sight of applications and user require-ments. Different foundations and basic concepts are ex-plored spreading our application areas and tech-nology areas. To proof our results, we implement prototypes and use common evaluation metho-dologies. Hereby, the research of evaluation me-thodologies is enforced. Our projects are funded by different national and international sources. In many of these projects we are part or drive a collaborative project with key partners.
