Rahman S.M. (ed.) Multimedia Technologies. Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications

IGI Global, 2008. — 1877 p.As multimedia technologies and their applications have witnessed explosive growth within the past two decades, information has become increasingly interactive and multidimensional. Traditional text-based data has been augmented and, in some cases, replaced by audiovisual content that is used to transform teaching styles, enhance business transactions, and promote cultural literacy. Researchers, students, and educators have benefited from and been challenged by increased access to multimedia data on the Internet, television, and even on their personal mobile devices. These technologies and their applications will continue to pervade and simplify our daily lives and, as a result, we must continue to understand, develop, and utilize the latest in multimedia research and exploration.
As the study of multimedia technologies and their applications has grown in both number and popularity, researchers and educators have devised a variety of techniques and methodologies to develop, deliver, and, at the same time, evaluate the effectiveness of their use. The explosion of methodologies in the field has created an abundance of new, state-of-the-art literature related to all aspects of this expanding discipline. This body of work allows researchers to learn about the fundamental theories, latest discoveries, and forthcoming trends in the field of multimedia technologies.
Constant technological and theoretical innovation challenges researchers to stay abreast of and continue to develop and deliver methodologies and techniques utilizing the discipline’s latest advancements. In order to provide the most comprehensive, in-depth, and current coverage of all related topics and their applications, as well as to offer a single reference source on all conceptual, methodological, technical, and managerial issues in multimedia technology, Information Science Reference is pleased to offer a three-volume reference collection on this rapidly growing discipline. This collection aims to empower researchers, students, and practitioners by facilitating their comprehensive understanding of the most critical areas within this field of study.A Brief Introduction to the Field of Multimedia Technologies.
