Multimedia Document Systems in Perspectives brings together in one place important contributions and up-to-date research results in this fast moving area. Multimedia Document Systems in Perspectives serves as an excellent reference, providing insight into some of the most challenging research issues in the field.

This book covers all aspects of computer document preparation text processing and printing. Computers are being used increasingly in the processing of documents, from simple textual material, such as letters and memos, to complete books with mathematical formulae and graphics. The material may be extensively edited and manipulated on the computer before subsequent output on media such as typewriters, laser printers or photocomposers. This volume contains contributions from several established leaders in the field, and a number of research articles referred by an international programme committee. As such, the book gives a good impression of the state-of-the art in this area, which is of major importance in this 'electronic age' where on-line information retrieval and electronic publishing will increasingly affect our everyday life.

Since the advent of personal computers, experts have predicted the paperless office, the rise of the electronic book, and the mass communication effect of the World Wide Web as the beginning of the end of the book. However, trends show that sales of paper increased with sales of computer networks - people have been trained to read books, and are more familiar with the act of picking up a book and reading than looking at chunks of information.There are many publishing applications that enable you to create sophisticated electronic books and distribute your electronic books to your readers via the World Wide Web or electronic book reader with ease not seen before in the publishing industry.Electronic Books and ePublishing shows you how to design electronic books using the book metaphor. The information presented in this book is a culmination of the author's experience as an author and researcher, and includes valuable information gathered through user surveys, user focus groups, usability testing and participation in industry groups and standards organisations.

This outstanding introductory primer demystifies and explains T EX, an advanced and widely popular typesetting and page make-up system that is especially designed to facilitate scientific and technical publishing. The TEX system is highly versatile, designed for use on over 50 different types of personal, mini-, and mainframe computers. The book immediately provides the reader with sufficient information to begin the majority of tasks which he or she most likely wishes to tackle. Accessibly written at an introductory level, the book explains how high-quality results can be obtained by someone with only a little T EX background. In a straightforward manner, it details why T EX approaches its subject in the way it does, and provides the "context" into which it fits. Special emphasis is placed on document structure and practical work. In fact, not only is this book a "primer," but it is a "plain" T EX primer. Wherever T EX is running, it comes with at least one basic style definition, called "plain." Plain T EX is the common starting point for T EX users and can be extended or modified to suit individual needs. Thus, with the aid of this book, scientists and researchers preparing their own books and papers, or technical typists used to the conventions and jargon of their field, will find little difficulty in adopting T EX's approach. Students and professionals involved in document preparation or desk-top publishing will also find this an extremely useful volume.

The Web has become a rich source of personal information in the last few years. People twitter, blog, and chat online. Current feelings, experiences or latest news are posted. For instance, first hints to disease outbreaks, customer preferences, or political changes could be identified with this data.

Surveillance or early warning systems enable such detection of changes and support humans in getting information on changing situations. However, the variety of data that could be considered for surveillance is immense, ranging from sensor-measured values to collected counts and information extracted from natural language documents.Denecke's objective is to introduce the multiple possibilities and facets of surveillance and its applications. She first introduces the task of surveillance and provides an overview on surveillance in various domains. Next, the various information sources that are available and could already be used by surveillance systems are summarized. In the main part of the book, her focus is on unstructured data as a source for surveillance. An overview on existing methods as well as methods to be developed in order to process this kind of data with respect to surveillance is presented. As an example application, she introduces disease surveillance using Web 2.0, including corresponding methods and challenges to be addressed. The book closes with remarks on new possibilities for surveillance gained by recent developments of the Internet and mobile communication, and with an outline of future challenges.

This volume presents state-of-the-art research from a wide area of subjects brought about by the digital convergence of computing, television, telecommunications and the World-Wide Web. It represents a unique snapshot of trends across a wide range of subjects including virtual environments; virtual reality; telepresence; human-computer interface design; interactivity; avatars; and the Internet. Both researchers and practitioners will find it an invaluable source of reference.

Digitalfotografie wird in der aktuellen Literatur stets als DIGITALfotografie verstanden. Dieses Buch versucht bewusst, zu einem besseren Verstandnis der modernen Fotografie zu fuhren, indem das erfolgreiche Zusammenwirken von klassischer mit digitaler Technologie genauso im Fokus steht wie Techniken und Besonderheiten der Digitalfotografie selbst. Die Grundlagen werden dabei theoretisch erlautert und an Bildbeispielen gezeigt. Hinzu kommen besondere Themen der Digitalfotografie wie Farbe und Schwarzweiss, Rausch- und Staubkorrektur, Internetpublikation, Urheberrechtsfragen und die Moglichkeiten des "digitalen Negativs," der raw-Datei. Neben Photoshop wird weitere einschlagige Software wie GIMP und C1 behandelt."

This book presents direct and concise explanations and examples to many LaTeX syntax and structures, allowing students and researchers to quickly understand the basics that are required for writing and preparing book manuscripts, journal articles, reports, presentation slides and academic theses and dissertations for publication. Unlike much of the literature currently available on LaTeX, which takes a more technical stance, focusing on the details of the software itself, this book presents a user-focused guide that is concerned with its application to everyday tasks and scenarios. It is packed with exercises and looks at topics like formatting text, drawing and inserting tables and figures, bibliographies and indexes, equations, slides, and provides valuable explanations to error and warning messages so you can get work done with the least time and effort needed. This means LaTeX in 24 Hours can be used by students and researchers with little or no previous experience with LaTeX to gain quick and noticeable results, as well as being used as a quick reference guide for those more experienced who want to refresh their knowledge on the subject.

Ein Grundproblem der rechnergestutzten Erstellung, Bearbeitung und Archivierung von Dokumenten ist die unzureichende Wiedergabe von Inhalt und Struktur durch die heute verbreiteten Dokumentformate und Seitenbeschreibungssprachen. Die Standard Generalized Markup Language loest dieses Problem durch die prazise und flexible Beschreibung der Struktur von Dokumenten. SGML ermoeglicht dadurch die vielseitige Nutzung der in Dokumenten enthaltenen Information fur elektronische Publikationen, Hypertext-Systeme, Online-Dokumente, aber auch fur die klassischen Formen der Publikation in Buch, Zeitschrift und Loseblattwerk. Daruber hinaus dient der ISO-Standard SGML als Austauschformat in heterogenen DV-Umgebungen. Das Buch vermittelt sowohl die fur die Entscheidungstrager notwendigen Informationen als auch das Basiswissen fur den Entwickler. Es gibt einen praxisorientierten Einstieg in Vorteile und Anwendungsgebiete von SGML, behandelt anhand vieler Beispiele die verschiedenen Bestandteile von Dokument-Typ-Definitionen und gibt einen UEberblick uber die verfugbare SGML-Software. Fur Anwender von SGML und Entwickler von SGML-Anwendungen, DV-Fachleute in Verlagen, technische Dokumentare und allgemein an Dokumentverarbeitung Interessierte.
