The comprehensive, systematic approach of Multimedia Database Management Systems presents you with current and emerging methods for managing the increasing demands of multimedia databases and their inherent design and architecture issues.

With this comprehensive resource, you learn how to create an effective multimedia database by integrating the various information indexing and retrieval methods currently available.
