ADVANCES IN NEXT GENERATION MOBILE MULTIMEDIA

ANGMM

Book Series

Ismail Khalil
Series Editor-in-Chief

Overview

The field of mobile computing and multimedia is expanding in an unprecedented pace. Indicators are the rapidly increasing penetration of the cellular phone market around the world, and the mobile computing market is growing nearly twice as fast as the desktop market. In addition, technological advancements have significantly enhanced the usability of mobile communication and computer devices. From the first CT1 cordless telephones to today¡|s Iridium mobile phones and laptops/PDAs with wireless Internet connection, mobile tools and utilities have made the life of many people at work and at home much easier and more comfortable. As a result, mobility and wireless connectivity are expected to play a dominant role in the future in all branches of economy. The addition of mobility to data communications systems has not only the potential to put the vision of ¡§being always on¡¨ into practice, but has also enabled new generation of services, e.g., location-based services.

The Advances in Next Generation Mobile Multimedia (ANGMM) book series aims to fill the gap in existing and forthcoming literature on the principle developing areas of mobile computing and multimedia. The book series seeks to aid all global audiences through the dissemination of reference publications in advancing their knowledge of this field of growing importance. The series welcomes proposals for edited books, authored books, or handbooks to this series on topics leveraging all aspects of mobile and multimedia computing: from underlying technologies to applications, theory to practice, and servers to networks to devices is precisely the ability to deploy and utilize modern technologies for the design, development and deployment of a content rich, user and business friendly, integrated network of autonomous, mobile applications and services.
