We propose a transcoding-enabled caching system (TeC) along with a new set of caching algorithms for video delivery over the Internet. Our system is designed for efficient delivery of rich media web contents to heterogeneous network environments and client capabilities. The proxies perform transcoding as well as caching in our system. This design choice allows content adaptation to be performed...

— There is a growing gap between the multimedia production and the context centric multimedia services. The main problem is the under-exploitation of the content creation design.
