The concept of content delivery (also known as content
distribution) is be coming increasingly important due to rapidly
growing demands for efficient distribution and fast access of
information in the Internet. Content delivery is very broad and
comprehensive in that the contents for distribution cover a wide
range of types with significantly different characteristics and
performance concerns, including HTML documents, images, multimedia
streams, database tables, and dynamically generated contents.
Moreover, to facilitate ubiqui tous information access, the network
architectures and hardware devices also vary widely. They range
from broadband wired/fixed networks to bandwid- constrained
wireless/mobile networks, and from powerful workstations/PCs to
personal digital assistants (PDAs) and cellular phones with limited
processing and display capabilities. All these levels of diversity
are introducing numerous challenges on content delivery
technologies. It is desirable to deliver contents in their best
quality based on the nature of the contents, network connections
and client devices. This book aims at providing a snapshot of the
state-of-the-art research and development activities on web content
delivery and laying the foundations for future web applications.
The book focuses on four main areas: (1) web con tent delivery; (2)
dynamic web content; (3) streaming media delivery; and (4)
ubiquitous web access. It consists of 17 chapters written by
leading experts in the field. The book is designed for a
professional audience including academic researchers and industrial
practitioners who are interested in the most recent research and
development activities on web content delivery."
