SCOPE OF THE SEMINAR

  The   exponential  growth of   network speed  makes  it  possible to
  exchange high quality audio and  video  contents over the  Internet,
  often  with real  time capabilities.   However, multimedia streaming
  still presents several issues with regards to Free Software and open
  standards: patents on software     and data formats,  free    codecs
  availability, standards  definitions,  etc, etc.   The goal  of this
  seminar is to provide an   overview  of existing Free Software   for
  multimedia streaming over  Internet, to envisage future developments
  and collaborations in this area and  to examine the possible ways to
  fund these developments.
