Abstract

Recently maturing technologies for digital multimedia and theInternet exhibit a powerful synergy with the potential to provide awhole range of new applications and tools. Not only do multimedia andInternet technologies offer enhancements to one another, but theircombination suggests entirely new communication paradigms. This paperreviews the state of the art in Internet multimedia from theperspectives of the developer, the network administrator, the contentprovider and the user, and then investigates some of theup-and-coming application areas: participatory publishing, enrichedmultimedia databases, integration of the WWW with broadcast media,and universal messaging systems. Remaining challenges, such asmissing authoring features, multimedia information management,network latency, and browsing issues, are then discussed.
