"Multimedia uses multiple forms of information content and processing to inform or entertain the user, or the audience. Generally speaking, we can say that multimedia refers to the use of electronic media for storage and processing of various data types. We experience the multimedia content presented by text, images, videos, animation, audio, and other media types, which stimulate our senses. There are different definitions of the term multimedia, depending on the context of use. One of the accepted definitions of multimedia is as follows: Multimedia is an area that integrates text, graphics, drawings, images and videos, animation, audio and other media, where any type of information can be displayed, stored, transmitted and processed in digital form. Despite this definition of multimedia as a scientific field, the word multimedia is also used to denote plain multimedia content, which represents the convergence of text, images, video, animation and sound (elements of multimedia) into a single form. The power of multimedia lies in the way this information is interconnected. Multimedia applications in addition to multimedia content also include the processes that execute inside them (during playback). The classification of multimedia content can be done in different ways. One of them classifies multimedia content into static and time-dependent. Text and images form static multimedia content, while audio, video and animations change over time, and the multimedia content in which they are included is called time-dependent. By multimedia structure we mean the form in which multimedia content appears. Multimedia structures are divided in two basic categories: linear and nonlinear. An example of a linear multimedia structure is a film without navigation controls. Nonlinear structures often use interactivity to control the flow, e.g. in video games or computer-assisted learning. Interactivity in multimedia means the ability to display or broadcast multimedia content according to user instructions. This edition covers several recent advances in multimedia, including: machine learning and AI methods in multimedia research, multimedia applications in health and medicine, multimedia transmission in wireless networks and multimedia applications in education." -- Back cover
