1. 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-

Research 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.
