Summary

"Multimedia application techniques used in contexts as diverse as business, government, education, entertainment, and healthcare are continually challenged by modeling, specification, analysis, and design issues that affect distributed multimedia database systems. These challenges are analyzed and practical solutions are offered in this scholarly discussion of database techniques such as image retrieval, video abstraction, video database, and multimedia and multistream synchronization. The most recent research findings are presented to facilitate effective database management."
