Visual interfaces that allow users to  interact with large databases must scale to web and distributed  applications. Interaction with databases must employ multiple and more  diversified interaction modalities, such as speech and gesture, in  addition to visual exploitation. Finally, the basic elements managed  in modern databases are rapidly evolving, from text, images, sound,  and video, to compositions and now annotations of these media, thus  incorporating ever-higher levels and different facets of semantics.  \u003cbr\u003e  In addition to visual interfaces and multimedia databases, \u003cem\u003eVisual  and\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eMultimedia Information Management\u003c\/em\u003e includes research in  the following areas: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpeech and aural interfaces  to databases; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eVisualization of web applications and database  structure; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAnnotation and retrieval of image databases;  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eVisual querying in geographical information systems; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eVideo  databases; and \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eVirtual environment and modeling of complex  shapes.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e   \u003cem\u003eVisual and Multimedia Information Management\u003c\/em\u003e  comprises the proceedings of the sixth International Conference on  Visual Database Systems, which was sponsored by the International  Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), and held in Brisbane,  Australia, in May 2002.\u003cbr\u003e  This volume will be essential for researchers in the field of  management of visual and multimedia information, as well as for  industrial practitioners concerned with building IT products for  managing visual and multimedia information. \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2002-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402070600\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-387-35592-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 418\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378913763468,"sku":"9781402070600","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402070600.jpg?v=1779503467","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781402070600","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
