The recent spreading of public wireless infrastructures
allowing for higher data rates makes mobile communications
networks a very attractive platform for distribution
of multimedia content. At the same time, limited resources
in public wireless networks pose serious questions on how
to bring services and multimedia to terminals to be used
anywhere. Content adaptation is required in order to bring
the best perceptual experience to the end-user while optimizing
resources usage. Unfortunately, content adaptation
is very difficult to achieve and is usually related to bandwidth
availability only. In this paper we propose to extend
existing service provisioning architectures with an asynchronous
notification system to keep up-to-date the whole
set of user profile data during service provisioning. We
argue that the average multimedia application behavior,
still adhering to a model based on a very limited number
of choices, is not affected by increased reaction time and
coarse-grained parameters responsivity. Furthermore, introduction
of asynchronous notifications will enable service
providers to adapt content considering any parameter characterizing
the user profile, not just available bandwidth.
