Description & Coverage
Description:

Multimedia services facilitate the real-time processing and communication of images, audio, and text. The convergence of computer communication and telecommunication has redefined current multimedia services, encouraging the creation of multimedia interfaces for videoconferencing, VoIP, instant messaging, and gaming.

Multimedia Services and Streaming for Mobile Devices: Challenges and Innovations provides tutorials, surveys, case descriptions, and original contributions that address current research findings and business success cases in multimedia services and streaming for mobile devices. This publication is useful to researchers, developers, engineers, and innovators working in multimedia services or mobile devices, as well as academics, industry professionals, and researchers who aspire to learn about recent progress and future trends in the field.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Adaptive and Customizable Streaming
  • Commercial Media Delivery Platforms
  • Compressing and Streaming Real-Time Video
  • Media Resource Adaptation
  • Mobile Lecture Streaming
  • Mobile WiMAX
  • Multimedia Streaming in Wireless Networks
  • P2P Video Streaming
  • QoS of Video Transmissions
Reviews & Statements

The different works presented in this book present different faces of the mobile streaming and multimedia services in actual mobile devices. On one hand, an intention of the editors was that the experimenting researcher could find new material in this book (research and commercial proposals). Another intention of the editors was that the interested public could find an interesting introduction to the challenges and innovations in this research area.

Editor/Author Biographies
Alvaro Suarez is a Full Professor of Telecommunications at the University of Las Palmas de Gran, Canaria, Spain. He is Member of the Experts Commission of research of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria from 1999-2002. He, in 1990, started working in systolic computing in the Technical University of Catalonia. Then he turned his attention to network computing and heterogeneous computing in 1994 when he returned to the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria where he founded the Concurrency and Architecture Group (GAC). His research interests are in parallel and heterogeneous distributed computing, infrastructure wireless networks for collaborative computing and collaborative frameworks. His current research efforts have focused on the management of wireless channel disconnections to prevent abrupt endings of applications. Professor Suarez teaches telecommunications at the beginning, advanced, and graduate levels, and advises graduate theses in the area of wireless communications and parallel and heterogeneous distributed computing. He also gives lectures at European universities. The Multimedia and Ubiquitous Wireless Access Networks and Services conference was lectured at University Ca’ Foscari di Venezia (May 2005).
Elsa Macias-López is an Associate professor of Telecommunications at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria University, Department of Telematics Engineering, Spain. She received her PhD in Telecommunications (2001) from Las Palmas of Gran Canaria University for her work on Parallel Computing on a LAN-WLAN Cluster Controlling at Runtime the Variation of the Number of Proccesses. She received her MS in Telecomunications (1997) from the same University for her work on Parallelization of Diffuse IR Radiation System Simulation for Indoor Applications. Her research interests are in parallel and distributed computing and infrastructure wireless networks for collaborative computing. Her current research efforts have focused on the management of wireless channel disconnections to prevent abrupt endings of applications. She has published about 8 papers in refereed journals, 40 papers in refereed conferences, 1 paper in Spanish magazine, one educational book and co-editor of one book. She is member of Program & Organizing Committees & Chair sessions for several international and Spanish conferences. She has collaborated in several research projects.
