From the Back Cover

Informative as well as tutorial, this book explores the design of advanced multimedia systems in depth -- the characteristics of multimedia systems, the design challenges, the emerging technologies that support advanced multimedia systems, design methodologies, and implementation techniques for converting the design to produce efficient, flexible, and extensive applications. Using coded modules to illustrate design aspects, it covers the underlying data management system, specialized hardware and software, and an advanced user interface -- and presents a number of new concepts and methodologies. Defines an advanced distributed multimedia system and introduces the prominent technologies and design features that contribute to a good multimedia system. Presents the key technologies -- input and output technologies, compression and decompression techniques, and storage technologies. Includes a detailed discussion of the architectural and design issues that determine the functionality and design strengths of a distributed multimedia system. Details an advanced design methodology for modeling the requirements and defining objects, and presents a step-by-step approach to multimedia systems design, along with real coded examples. For those involved in information systems and multimedia applications, especially in the design of advanced multimedia systems. Previously announced in the 9/94 PTR Catalog.
