Abstract:
Current business presentations are commonly
multimedia-based and with the realization of the mobile
enterprise, accessing of such presentations stored on
servers from mobile devices will become increasingly
common. However as a roaming mobile device user
moves, factors that change include the local wireless
network technology, the available bandwidth, the
currently closest source of the media files and even the
continuity of wireless access. The XML-based standard,
Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL),
provides a format to specify the display sequence and
layout of media files in a multimedia presentation. In this
paper we present a SMIL-based system for mobile devices
that is able to dynamically adapt presentations in
response to such changing mobile computing-related
factors as those given above.
