Abstract
This combined topic embraces two broad themes: multimedia and embedded systems. Multimedia has become an important technological innovation and plays an important role in our daily activities. It is defined as the combination of the following forms of information: text, graphics, video, and audio — referred to as multimedia formats. Traditionally, the multimedia formats were being represented in an analog form, but nowadays we are observing a migration from the analog representation to the digital representation. The digital representation of the multimedia formats proved to have certain advantages, for example easier editability and improved error resilience. However, the digital representation presented the scientific community and the industry with a sizeable problem which is the enormous size of the digital representation/information and extreme computational requirements.
