Performance Optimization of Interactive, PersonalContent DistributionPhilip LerouxDepartment of Information Technology, Ghent University, IBBTSupervisor(s): Filip De Turck, Bart DhoedtThe fast evolving market for mobile devices has become more appealing than ever, both for usersas for content and application providers. Different types of mobile devices, such as smartphones,tablets or e-readers find their way to the mass consumer market while the continuous purchasing ofmobile applications has shown to be a major success. Also the adoption of mobile data connectivityis increasing as mobile data plans become less expensive while network data rates and downloadvolumes are raised. However, due to this fast evolution, the mobile market has become morefragmented and devices are faster outdated, not only on a hardware level, but also on a softwarelevel with the existence of many popular mobile software platforms, each composed of differentsoftware versions.A service platform has been designed that aids both application and content providers to moreeasily target all these mobile devices, irrespective of their hardware capabilities or software plat-form. Special focus is on the integration of interactive and personal services in the delivery ofmobile content and the development of mobile applications. Interactive services specifically en-compass all kinds of actions that may be executed by users while consuming mobile content, e.g.participating in a live TV quiz show which is simultaneously streamed to the mobile device. Forthe personalization aspect, the platform is composed of A.I. building blocks that analyze mobileusers’ behavior: the content they consume, their measured context information and the interactionwith the mobile platform, e.g. their application usage. As such, our platform eases the develop-ment of interactive mobile services and enhances the level of personalization integrated in theseservices. Additionally, with privacy becoming more and more of an issue, the platform aids theuser in transparently managing all his personal information, allowing to determine which data mayor may not be consulted by which applications.
