ICARE “Innovative Cloud Architecture for Real Entertainment”

The ICARE Project (Innovative Cloud Architecture for Real Entertainment) aims at exploring the possibilities that Cloud services and technologies offer to transport, process, deliver and protect multimedia content. The Grupo de Tratamiento de Imágenes (GTI) in the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) participates in this Project in collaboration with Alcatel-Lucent, and studies the use of the adaptive streaming technology for delivering audiovisual contents in Cloud architectures. Particularly, GTI addresses the analysis, design and optimization of control algorithms over adaptive streaming players.
