Sinopsis

Over the last few years, multimedia hardware and applications have become widely available in the personal computer and workstation environments, and multimedia is rapidly becoming an integral part of stand-alone, single-user sy­ stems. In contrast, the problems encountered when moving to open, distributed environments are only just beginning to be identified. Examples are the trans­ mission of dynamic data (video, sound) over large distances and cooperative work. Following on from two successful workshops on multimedia, EG-MM ’94 concentrates on topics related to multimedia/hypermedia in open, distributed environments. The goal of this symposium was not only to give a comprehensive overview of the current state of research, development, and standardisation in the field, but also to provide an opportunity for live demonstrations to experience directly the presented results. The symposium program consists of two invited keynote speeches, eight tech­ .nical sessions, one tutorial, and one demonstration session. A workshop following immediately after the symposium provides an opportunity for in-depth discussi­ ons of open problems among experts. It is intended to fill a gap often experienced at larger meetings and conferences: the lack of time to discuss in detail issues raised during the event, such as the characteristics of different approaches to a certain problem. It is intended that the results of the workshop be published as a Eurographics Technical Report.

Reseña del editor

While multimedia applications are rapidly becoming an integral part of stand-alone, single-user systems, the problems encountered when moving into distributed environments are only beginning to be identified. This book represents the results from the Eurographics symposium on "Multimedia/Hypermedia in Open Distributed Environments", held at June 6-9, 1994, in Graz, Austria. About 20 contributions cover a broad range of problems related to this topic. Organized in the six sessions "Standards and Standards Exploitation", "Demonstrations", "Tools", "Hypermedia and Authoring", "Architectures", and "CSCW and Information Services", the book gives a comprehensive overview about the state of the art in research, development, and standardisation in the areas of hypermedia (hm) encoding and presentation, distributed multimedia (mm) tele- and information services, mm/hm development and authoring tools, cooperative development environments, and new architectural concepts. In addition, the future mm/hm encoding and presentation standards MHEG and PREMO are presented. As a result, the reader will profit from this book in getting up-to-date information about the current trends in (the development of) mm/hm services and applications in open, distributed environments.
