Produktbeschreibung

Multimedia computing is a logical next step by which computing technology will become ever more useful and ubiquitous in our everyday lives. From the perspective of technical challenges, multimedia affects nearly every aspect of computer hardware and software. The long-heralded marriage of computing, communications, and information services is now being consummated, and is manifesting itself in literally dozens of new alliances between companies ranging from semiconductors to cable TV, from newspapers and telephone companies to computer hardware and software.

Autorenporträt

The book contains the proceedings of the first Dagstuhl Workshop on Multimedia. The purpose of this workshop was to bring together a small group of multimedia computing researchers who would on one hand identify research issues and agendas and on the other hand report on current research. The material in this book is organized into three sections. The first section contains reports on three subject areas: Authoring Systems, Multimedia Systems Architectures, and Digital Video in Multimedia Systems. The other two sections are collections of related papers. The first one concerns system architecture issues, and focusses on internal system matters such as multimedia databases and networking support for multimedia. The second collection of papers concerns multimedia documents and interfaces.
