OBJECTIVE
Multimedia coupled with information superhighways allows revolutionary new
ways to provide a variety of services such as video-on-demand, interactive TV,
access to digital libraries, distance training, collaborative work,
videoconferencing, and many others. The multimedia and information
superhighway technologies including World Wide Web, have already created many
benefits, but we can still only guess at many benefits these liberating new
technologies will create in the future. Multimedia, Internet, and Web are
changing our lives!
The goal of this tutorial is to link present realities to the future of
technology. It should bring to participants 21st century thinking today.
The first part of the tutorial is on present and future multimedia and
information superhighways technologies. The fundamental technical concepts
and principles of multimedia, Internet, and Web are presented. The synergy
between the Internet and multimedia promises to bring a tremendous explosion
in application possibilities. The second part is on present and future
interactive multimedia applications on information superhighways. The
tutorial concludes with our vision of the 21st century. We present our
views of future computers and the global community in which billions of
people communicate, interact among themselves, and receive various services
via information superhighways. We also envision how "the information home"
and "the company of the future" will look like.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This tutorial is intended for system designers, engineers, and scientists,
and programmers who are involved in Internet applications and multimedia
systems. It is also intended to anyone interested in receiving an advanced
technical training in this field. The tutorial assumes some familiarity with
multimedia and Internet. Level: intermediate.
