Strategic Applications of Distance Learning Technologies

Аннотация

This book focuses chapters on different research, design and implementation aspects of technologies and methods with specific focus on distance education. These include Development of integrated e-learning environment based on interactive multimedia services with proactive QoS; allowing development of end-to-end QoS-aware multimedia conferences, coordi-nating resources from network, end-system processing equipment and applications. One proposed system integrates public domain multicast applications for synchronous media communication, being supervised by a middleware-based QoS management framework intending to preserve the QoS of critical parameters for e-learning session's specificity.
