Seamless multimedia communication has the potential to create a future where people from all over the world live, work, and communicate independently from any geographical cons-traints. The communication and information systems supporting this collaboration have to be performant, dependable, secure, and adap-table to user requirements.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 technolo-gy. Our findings in semantics, serious gaming, the Internet of services, overlay communi-cations and self-organization facilitates the

Multimedia Communications LabResearch towards Seamless Multimedia Communication

envisioned seamless communication. Our research towards this vision is based on different technologies. While focusing on sci-ence, we never lose sight of applications and user requirements. Different foundations and basic concepts are explored spreading our application areas and technology areas. To proof our results, we im-plement prototypes and use common evaluati-on methodologies. Hereby, the research of eva-luation methodologies is enforced. Our projects are funded by different national and international sources. In many of these pro-jects we are part or drive a collaborative project with key partners.
