Experiment Design. The main goal of the PMM experiment is to test an adaptive follow-me media streaming services across multiple devices and locations in the Smart City. This goal translates into investigating how the FLAME platform can impact on personalized media distribution with a specific interest in four main aspects: A detailed description of the experiment rationale, narrative storylines, stakeholders and requirements has been provided in Deliverable D3.1: FMI Vision, Use Cases and Scenarios (v1.1) [1]. Starting from that standpoint, the PMM experiment has been designed to cover incrementally up to three scenarios to be deployed in the City of Barcelona with increasing system complexity and number of involved end-users: x Scenario 1: PMM distribution in walking areas in Barcelona, i.e. my screen & preferences follow me from home to my smart hand-held devices to continue media consumption while walking in the Smart City x Scenario 2: PMM on aggregation areas of the Smart City, i.e. my media follow me also in aggregation area (e.g. shop, cafeteria, and mall), and surrogate functions for media distribution are allocated in edge nodes for more users. x Scenario 3: PMM in digital signage posts, i.e. access to media contents from large public events in the Smart City at digital signage posts and swipe them in the personal device. The planned experiment size and key demonstration steps are described in the following Error! Reference source not found. for the three scenarios. Experiment scenario # Scale Key demonstration points 1 Very Small 1-5 users “My screen follows me” from home to smart hand-held devices in the Smart city x User swipes media from a fixed video/audio device at home to personal mobile devices (e.g. tablets, smartphones) and move within the FLAME urban area x The ▇▇▇ application is capable to invoke the FLAME platform APIs to instantiate content caches and media service chains to continue streaming on the move x [Complimentary] My preferences follow me: I can resume my playlist (music or video) from where I paused while I’m on the move 2 Small 10-50 users “My screen follows me” from home to public aggregation areas in the Smart City x User swipes media from a fixed video/audio device at home to personal mobile devices (e.g. tablets, smartphones) and move within the FLAME urban area x User uses public transportation or is in an aggregation area (e.g. shop, cafeteria, mall) and FLAME content caches and service chains are re-allocated to serve him/her Live in public event “The Congress Eye” x Delegates can consume video streaming (live and recorded) from various sources (cameras) at the Congress centre on their personal devices while moving in the Smart City x The same library is available at digital signage posts installed at public places in the Smart City x Digital signage posts can be used for location-based services to citizens and delegates 50+ users The successful execution of the scenario #1 and scenario #2 will represent a minimal target for achieving a significant validation of the PMM experiment in the City of Barcelona.
