This is the first book to address the concepts, architecture, and design of networked multimedia systems. The authors carefully integrate multimedia and networking concepts to teach the key technologies in designing multimedia systems. Students learn how to simultaneously access and display audio, video, and graphics information in centralized and distributed environments.

The authors systematize the multimedia design process, introduce various subfields that are essential to understanding problems, and give detailed state-of-the-art treatment of each topic. This text is directed to senior and graduate level students since knowledge of basic concepts of computer systems and networking is assumed. Professionals designing multimedia systems will find this book an important reference source.

KEY FEATURES:

• Derives requirements for various issues including creation, maintenance, and retrieval of different types of data.
• Considers the impact each medium has on the volume of data and its time characteristics.
• Addresses the issue of compact representation of multimedia information such as images and video for storage, transmission, and processing.
• Focuses on how to handle high volume and time-constrained I/O data using specific storage devices such as CD-ROMs.
• Presents a unique reference model that ties technology and mechanisms together to provide a hierarchical view of networked multimedia design.
• Provides a state-of-the-art literature review on designing modern multimedia systems including traffic prediction, buffer design, traffic shaping, scheduling, and congestion control.
• Examples, figures, and drawings are used to focus on a system design perspective.
