Special Topics in Multimedia, IoT and Web Technologies

This book presents a set of recent advances that involve the areas of multimedia, IoT, and web technologies. These advances incorporate aspects of clouds, artificial intelligence, data analysis, user experience, and games. In this context, the work will bring the reader the opportunity to understand new possibilities of use and research in these areas. We think that this book is suitable for students (postgraduates and undergraduates) and lecturers on these specific topics. Professionals can also benefit from the book since some chapters work with practical aspects relevant to the industry.

Up-to-date information about several trendy topics in Multimedia and the Web Practical examples teaching how to use platforms related to these topics A didactic approach, aiming to show how these concepts relate to solving real problems in Computer Science, mainly in the area of Multimedia and the Web
