Purpose and goal
The goal of the NOTTS project has been to provide technological solutions that enable improved business opportuities for Over-the-top (OTT) media service delivery. The goal has been fulfilled through the realization of a scalable and robust video streaming solution, which is able to deliver adapted contents to heterogeneous devices and networks. The solution includes quality assurance technology based on novel QoE estimation methods developed in the project, improving customer satisfaction of OTT content. The main results of the project are: - New and improved OTT media distribution service architectures, including adaptive video streaming, peer-assisted solutions and local caching - New methods for QoE modelling and estimation and Quality Assurance monitoring for CDN/OTT, including determination of the impact of on end-to-end latency for delay-sensitive services The main effects of the project are: - 27 products from NOTTS partners´ product lines improved by the project - 77 papers accepted in relevant international journals and conferences - 4 contributions to standards The results achieved in the NOTTS project show that the consortium has experienced a highly successful solid team collaboration with strongly committed partners, allowing a professional outcome despite being distributed in many countries all over Europe. The project consortium has been well coordinated both at national and European level. Both academic and industrial goals have been reached, indicating a well-balanced consortium with complementary skills.
