This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the first European Workshop on Interactive Distributed Multimedia Systems and Services, IDMS'96, held in Berlin, Germany in March 1996. The 21 revised papers included were carefully selected for presentation at the workshop; they examine current and new approaches to interactive distributed multimedia systems and services from different points of view, including research and development, management, and users. Among the topics addressed are application development support, multimedia services on demand, multimedia conferencing, multimedia networking, continuous-media streams, multimedia experiments.
Contributed chapters to this volume cover the field of global networking using heterogenous networks such as DQDB MAn, high speed LAN and B-ISDN. Strategical issues is trans-European networking are addressed.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Interactive Distributed Multimedia Systems and Telecommunication Services, IDMS'98, held in Oslo, Norway, in September 1998. The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from a total of 68 submissions. Also included are seven position statements. The book is divided into topical sections on distributed multimedia applications; platforms for collaborative systems; MPEG; coding for WWW, wireless, and mobile environments; QoS and user aspects; flow control, congestion control, and multimedia streams; multimedia servers, documents, and authoring; and storage servers.
Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) is an interdisicplinary research area devoted to exploring the issues of designing computer-based systems that enhance the abilities of cooperating workers to coordinate and integrate their activities in an efficient, effective, and flexible manner. This rigorously selected volume represents both practical and theoretical approaches from many of the leading researchers in the field. As an interdisciplinary area of research, CSCW is characterized by bringing together widely disparate research traditions and perspectives into an arena of collaboration and contention. The selected papers reflect the diverse approaches and cultures of this multi-disciplinary field. This collection will be of interest to a wide audience - because of the huge practical import of the issues and because of the interdisciplinary nature of the problems and the solutions proposed. In particular, the volume will be of interest to researchers and professionals in computing, sociology, cognitive science, and human factors.
th We are very happy to present the proceedings of the 8 International Workshop on Interactive Distributed Multimedia Systems IDMS 2001, in co-operation with ACM SIGCOMM and SIGMM. These proceedings contain the technical programme for IDMS 2001, held September 4 7, 2001 in Lancaster, UK. For the technical programme this year we received 48 research papers from both a- demic and industrial institutions all around the world. After the review process, 15 were accepted as full papers for publication, and a further 8 as short positional papers, intended to provoke debate. The technical programme was complimented by three invited papers: QoS for Multimedia What’s Going to Make It Pay? by Derek M...
The contributions provide an overview of research in tele- communications and distributed systems. The main part con- concentrates on the evaluation of the CCITT recommendations and ISO standards with respect to OSI and ISDN and user ser- vices. It also reviews new applications that are becoming a- vailable in modern offices, manufacturing, and the public domain. Different approaches are discussed as to how these applications can be builtmore easily with advanced program- ming rools. Deals with operating systems support for commu- nication systems.
Content Description #Includes bibliographical references and index.
Die demografische Entwicklung wie auch die starke Zunahme chronischer Erkrankungen erfordert neue Wege für ein hochwertiges und bezahlbares Gesundheitssystem. ICT-Lösungen spielen dabei eine herausragende Rolle. Integrierte Versorgungsstrukturen verzahnen den stationären Sektor mit ambulanten Versorgungsprozessen und ermöglichen eine laufende Betreuung chronisch Kranker. Telemonitoring ist eine Lösung zur Verbesserung der Qualität und Produktivität der Gesundheitsversorgung sowie der medizinischen Versorgung ländlicher Gebiete. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht sie ein längeres selbstbestimmtes Leben älterer oder mit Einschränkungen belasteter Menschen in ihrer häuslichen Umgebung. Im Buch werden von Experten Fragen zu Telemonitoring in Gesundheits- und Sozialsystemen sowie die Rahmenbedingungen für eine schnelle Implementierung behandelt. Dabei wird auch über Studienergebnisse der Projektgruppe ProTelemonitoring beim VDE und Vergleichsstudien von Krankenkassen und Krankenhäusern berichtet.
