"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."--BOOK JACKET. "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."--BOOK JACKET.
