Reviews
“ The author is a senior lecturer at the Gippsland School of Computing and Information Technology at Monash University in Churchill, Australia. This background leads obviously to the special strength of the book: Its systematic style and a well kept balance between overview and depth and theoretical foundation and application examples. The book is especially recommended as a solid textbook for students of informatics with interests in multimedia databases. Furthermore, it is also recommended to students and practitioners who want to get a fundamental background for development of efficient multimedia database applications.”
--Zentralblatt MATH, Volume 943, 2000
“ It is a well written book that can serve both as a text book for graduate and post-graduate studies, and for the interested professional of related questions. Thus, we highly recommend it to all readers of CIE NEWS, who would like to learn about how their system and application works.”
---CIE NEWS, April 2001

Traditional database management systems can't handle the demands of managing multimedia data. With the rapid growth of multimedia platforms and the world wide web, database management systems must now process, store, index, and retrieve alphanumeric data, bitmapped and vector-based graphics, and video and audio clips both compressed and uncompressed. 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. Also, you learn to measure multimedia database performance that is based on similarity to queries and routinely affected by human judgment.
This book concludes with a discussion of networking and operating system support for multimedia databases and a look at current research and development in this dynamic field. It is a vital tool for database developers and managers, multimedia researchers, as well as web developers.
