NMM software was awarded at this year's ACM Multimedia conference
ACM Multimedia selected Motama's key software technology - called
Network-Integrated Multimedia Middleware (NMM) - to be presented at
this year's Open Source competition. An international jury of experts
in the field then chose NMM to be the final winner of the competition.
'We would like to thank ACM for this distinction', Marco Lohse, CEO of
Motama, says. 'We also see this award as the success of our strategy
to continuously transfer the latest research results into mature
software that then again can be used in commercial products as well as
in academia.'
ACM Multimedia
The ACM Multimedia is the premier annual multimedia conference,
covering all aspects of multimedia computing: from underlying
technologies to applications, theory to practice, and servers to
networks to devices. This year's conference was held Vancouver, BC,
Canada. The Open Source software competition is a relatively recent
and highly successful addition to the ACM Multimedia program. 2008 was
the fifth year in running the competition. The competition celebrates
the invaluable contributions of Open Source programmers who advance
the field by providing the community with implementations of codecs,
middleware, frameworks, toolkits, libraries, and other multimedia
software.

Motama is specialized in designing and developing distributed and
networked multimedia systems - spanning from embedded and mobile
systems, to PCs, to large-scale computing clusters. The company's key
technology provides a ground-breaking new software solution - called
Network-Integrated Multimedia Middleware (NMM) - that drives
innovative products for home entertainment, building technologies,
content distribution, and other application areas. Motama's middleware
technology operates cross-platform. Arbitrary networking technologies
and various operating systems are supported, which allows for running
NMM based solutions on commodity PCs, as well as on embedded systems,
such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), or set-top
boxes. Founded in Saarbrücken, Germany, in 2005 as spin-off company
from the Computer Graphics Lab at Saarland University, Motama today
offers commercial and Open Source versions of its software. Further
