Summary
This chapter presents an overview of multimedia services in intelligent environments and outlines the contents of the book. Multimedia services is the term chosen to describe services which rely on the coordinated and secure storage, processing, transmission, and retrieval of multiple forms of information. The term refers to various levels of data processing and includes applications areas such as digital libraries, e-learning, e-government, e-commerce, e-entertainment, e-health, or e-legal services. Besides the introductory chapter, this book includes 14 additional chapters. Nine of these chapters attempt to cover various aspects of low level data processing in multimedia services in intelligent environments, such as storage, recognition and classification, transmission, information retrieval, and information securing. Four additional chapters present intermediate level multimedia services in noise and hearing monitoring and measuring, augmented reality, automated lecture rooms and rights management and licensing. Finally, Chap. 15 is devoted to a high-level intelligent recommender service in scientific digital libraries.
