The Sacred Way project is a cooperative international initiative for multimedia education in archaeology and Classical civilisation. The project is currently supported by the European Community COMETT II programme. Planned activities include seminars and courses, intended to introduce archaeologists, museum professionals and humanities educators to the techniques and potential of digital multim...

Multimedia data is rapidly gaining importance along with recent developments such as the increasing deployment of surveillance cameras in public locations, and the need for automatic comparison of forensic video evidence. In a few years time, analyzing the content of multimedia data will be a problem of phenomenal proportions, as digital video may produce data at rates beyond 100 Mb/s, and mult...

Today’s large demand for internet applications requires data to be transmitted in a safe and secure manner. Data transmission in public communication system insecure because of interception and improper manipulation by eavesdropper. So the solution for this problem is Steganography, Steganography is the art of hiding one medium of information into another medium. There are many approaches for h...

The availability of low-cost hardware such as CMOS cameras and microphones has fostered the development of Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs), i.e., networks of wirelessly interconnected devices that are able to ubiquitously retrieve multimedia content such as video and audio streams, still images, and scalar sensor data from the environment. In this paper, the state of the art in algo...

In this paper we identify the most prominent problems of wireless multimedia networking and present several state-of-the-art solutions with a focus on energy efficiency. Three key problems in networked wireless multimedia systems are 1) the need to maintain a minimum quality of service over time-varying channels, 2) to operate with limited energy resources, and 3) to operate in a heterogeneous ...

Digital multimedia, such as images and videos, are playing an increasingly important role in health sciences education. Educators, however, often do not have the time or resources to create high-quality materials. The authors describe the development of a new Health Education Assets Library (HEAL), a freely accessible, national library of high-quality digital multimedia to support all levels of...

Integrating new information technologies into any traditionally conservative environment presents program planners, designers and developers with many complex logistical, technical, and political challenges. This type of integration is particularly challenging when content, installation and operation directly impact the traditional appearance of the institution. Over the last three years, The M...
