Title: "New Horizons in Creative Open Software, Multimedia, Human Factors and Software Engineering"

Handbook Aims

This edited handbook aims to report emerging new horizons in R+D and development outcomes on problems and corresponding strategies, methods, techniques, approaches and successful applications or solutions in computational informatics, design, communicability, audio-visual contents, social factors and programming for hypermedia (online and/or off-line interactive systems), etc. The handbook encourages high quality chapters to eradicate ambiguities and increasingly unify all participants in computer science and design, from production to realization of the emerging or new technologies.
