ABSTRACT
During the last decade the number of personal multimedia-enabled devices has increased significantly in everyday usage. Additionally, high-end devices for multimedia environments enable multi-modal human computer interaction and in particular advanced collaboration. Most multimedia environments focus on efficient provisioning of multimedia services but show a lack of user-centric aspects, like explicit reasoning about the users' wishes and fulfillment of requirements.In this paper, we present a novel goal-driven approach for multimedia service composition which is able to reason about the users' demands and to adapt to new context situations in a non-intrusive manner. The fulfillment of goals is assured by hierarchical goal structuring, service provisioning, and evaluation of service fulfillment degrees. We apply this approach to a typical multimedia-enriched meeting scenario described by means of Semantic Web ontologies. A flexible and modular service-oriented software architecture demonstrates the usability of the envisioned companion like smart meeting room.
