Ubiquitous multimedia services are formed by coalescing wireless communication into distributed multimedia systems. Content and service provisioning becomes problematic as many of the access devices are restricted in terms of processing, information display and network data rates, therefore, content must be suited to the user's preferences, usage context, device capabilities and network conditions. Since content may have to be converted into several intermediate forms to get into its final desired adapted form, content adaptation becomes multi-step process involving a number of services each performing a specific adaptation operation.
