A ubiquitous personalized multimedia service model based on FSM

The ubiquitous computing environment and users´ demand for multimedia personalization precipitate a need for ubiquitous personalized multimedia services (UPMSs). Delivering UPMSs is very complex because of diverse device capabilities, dynamic network characteristics, etc. This paper proposes a lifecycle management model based on FSM (finite state machines) for ubiquitous personalized multimedia services (UPMSs). By using this model, the management of UPMSs is very clear and easy, and the services are delivered more efficiently, effectively, and robustly.
