Abstract: Tablets and smartphones have become the favorite gateway to the Internet for a majority of users. Being equipped with plenty of sensors, these devices enable far more than traditional web browsing. One example is the popularity of context-aware mobile multimedia applications, where, e.g., the user’s location is integral part of the interaction with the application and with the applications media streams. At the same time, people increasingly manage their social life through their mobile devices. Future challenges originate from the huge amount of networked devices and e.g., up-coming pervasive cloud-centric infrastructure. We have to tackle the arising dynamics by appropriate (i.e., adaptive) multimedia communication systems in terms of the FUTURE INTERNET. Using the example of a mobile pervasive multiplayer game, the key issues of future challenges of adaptive multimedia communications are presented. In more detail, future context-aware publish/subscribe systems enable local interaction between mobile clients. Transitions between different local publish/subscribe mechanisms enable the system to adapt to changing surrounding conditions. To detect such changing conditions, locality-aware monitoring mechanisms are an integral part of the communication systems. Finally, the vision and steps towards an overall transition-enabled Future Internet is outlined.
