Encyclopedia of Multimedia
Technology and Networking
Multimedia technology, networks and online interactive
multimedia services are taking advantage of a series of
radical innovations in converging fields, such as the
digitisation of signals, satellite and fibre optic based
transmission systems, algorithms for signal compression
and control, switching and storage devices, and others,
whose combination has a supra-additive synergistic
effect. In such an ever-evolving environment, teachers,
researchers and professionals of the discipline need
access to the most current information about the
concepts, issues, trends and technologies in this
emerging field. The Encyclopedia of Multimedia
Technology and Networks provides in-depth coverage of
the most important concepts, issues, trends and
technologies in the multimedia discipline. This
contemporary encyclopedia offers, in detail, an
understanding of many topics related to multimedia
evolution, design, communications, e-commerce,
education, security, and virtual communities. In
addition, it offers a thorough explanation of emerging
multimedia technologies and applications. This
encyclopedia is a valuable collection of articles that
present perspectives from hundreds of researchers around
the world and it is a valuable reference source for all
libraries.
