Content Delivery in a Converging World: Realities and Perspective

The acceleration of the development of enabling technologies such as the web, access and broadband technologies together with the development of Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) is laying the ground for a viable and successful delivery of large-scale multimedia content-based services. There are still many issues that need to be resolved to make such services viable. They include content distribution transport strategies, signaling and interactive response issues, user quality of the experience, uniform representation of the content in terms of media and associated metadata and finally the management of digital rights.

Explore the state of converging content delivery and unified communications, and the challenges it poses to service providers, vendors, content creators and consumers. Participate in thought-provoking sessions on the realities and solutions to create, deliver and consume multimedia content based services.
