Multimedia technologies and the internet are increasingly intrinsic
to our daily lives, and into the future will continue to transform
the way we live. Multimedia Engineering describes the latest
advances in this technology applied to the Internet and WWW. It
immerses the reader into the development of many practical
internet/ multimedia systems, offering an insight into a range of
engineering problems and solutions. It provides a broad coverage of
internet/WWW and multimedia processing, as well as transmission and
practical applications.
* Provides an overview of state-of-the-art technologies
* Addresses commerical, industrial and educational applications
and security and privacy issues.
* Offers a detailed background into how the internet has been
used to support multimedia communications
* Assumes a practical and descriptive problem-solving approach,
featuring many worked-through examples
* Written by widely published authors with years of research in
the field
Multimedia Engineering will appeal to graduate and senior
undergraduate students in electrical and electronic engineering,
industrial, systems & computer engineering. It will also be of
interest to electrical, computer and systems engineers and web
developers interested in, or already engaged in, this emerging
field.
