Multimedia storage servers provide access to multimedia objects including text, images, audio, and video. The design of such servers fundamentally di ers from conventional servers due to: (1) the real-time storage and retrieval requirements, as well as (2) the large storage space and data transfer rate requirements of digital multimedia. In this paper, we present an overview of the architecture...

While extensive standards have been developed for the representation of objects within complex multimedia documents, much less attention has been paid to the usability of these documents. Key features of electronic text-document browsers are identiied and the ways these might be applied to multimedia documents are discussed. Some of these features include Tables of Contents (TOCs), linking, and...

The multimedia-based education system is a dynamic and innovative approach that integrates various forms of multimedia, including text, images, audio, video, interactive content, to enhance the teaching learning process. This aims create engaging immersive experiences, catering diverse styles promoting active participation.

Efficient retrieval of multimedia objects has gained enormous focus in recent years. A number of techniques have been suggested for retrieval of textual information; however, relatively little has been suggested for efficient retrieval of multimedia objects. In this paper we have proposed a generic architecture for contextaware retrieval of multimedia objects. The proposed framework combines th...

Transcoding is a technique that transforms multimedia, e.g. text, images, audio and/or video, from the original format in which the multimedia was encoded into a second alternative format. Within the emerging world of wireless connectivity to the Web, transcoding of Internet multimedia enables Internet content providers, e.g. Web sites, and Internet service providers (ISP) to transform Web cont...

Digital Libraries usually contain a large collection of structured multimedia documents. At present text may be dominant in many applications, however the relevance of other media types such as image, audio and video increases steadily. An important functionality of a digital library in this respect is the retrieval of relevant multimedia documents or relevant parts of multimedia documents. To ...

Multimedia data security is important for multimedia commerce. Previous cryptography studies have focused on text data. The encryption algorithms developed to secure text data may not be suitable to multimedia applications because of large data sizes and real time constraint. For multimedia applications, light weight encryption algorithms are attractive. In this paper, we present four fast MPEG...

Multimedia information and embedded systems are two major technological advances that have significantly changed the way people interact with systems and information in recent years. In this context, audio proves to be the most advantageous media for interacting with embedded systems and their content. Advantages include: hands-free operation; unattended interaction; and simple, cheap devices f...
