Advances in high-performance computing, communication, and storage technologies, as well as emerging large-scale multimedia applications, have made the design and development of multimedia information systems one of the most challenging and important directions of research and development within computer science. The payoffs of a multimedia infrastructure are tremendous -it enables many multibillion dollar-a-year application areas. Examples are medical information systems, electronic commerce, digital libraries (such as multimedia data repositories for training, education, broadcast, and entertainment), special-purpose databases, (such as face or fingerprint databases for security), and geographic information systems storing satellite images, maps, and so forth. An integral component of the multimedia infrastructure is a multimedia database management system. Such a system supports mechanisms to extract and represent the content of multimedia objects, provides efficient storage of the content in the database, supports content-based queries over multimedia objects, and provides a seamless integration of the multimedia objects with the traditional information stored in existing datab
