I would like to thank my wife, Salom, and our three kids, Paula, lvaro, and Javi, for all the support they gave me, even when we were all busy. There are no words that would be enough to express my gratitude.

I would also like to thank my colleagues in multimedia and my patient students. The need to be at the level you demand is what keeps me going forward.
