Adapt
The main aim of the Adapt project was to investigate the development of distributed systems support to manage the differing levels of connectivity a mobile user will experience. More specifically, Adapt investigated the required support for adaptive multimedia applications which are capable of intelligently adapting to quality of service (QoS) fluctuations (e.g. through QoS re-negotiation, media scaling etc.). The Adapt project was a 3 year EPSRC funded project.
