October 12 - 14, 1997 International conference DATASEM is being a constant part of professional program of people interested in databases for more than 15 years. Topics of the conference are more broader every year since today s databases are only one of the information technologies, which serve to build information systems. Cooperation is typical also for this year. Techniques like groupware, workflow or Internet communication among different data sources will be presented. Another actual themes like GIS, object libraries, systems performance are not excluded from the program of conference. A stress is put on invited lectures bringing an adequate insight and a deep comprehension. Traditionally two tutorials - minicourses will be also prepared. A progress in technologies, new theories and current interesting ideas will be presented in short communications. DATASEM 97 is devoted to professionals in IT, but also to managers, who want to know new ideas and processes in IT.

Important research issues covered include video data modeling, video data insertion, video scene analysis, video data indexing and video queries. It also covers infrastructure issues needed to support video databases such as, video data compression standards, video server design and implementation, network and operating system support, and copyright protection. A unique feature of this book is that it goes beyond concepts. It covers in great detail many video products currently available in the market. The market survey is broken down into several categories such as video storage systems, and video servers. Finally, the book devotes a chapter to discuss ten emerging and existing applications of video databases. An extensive appendix which includes hundreds of URLs pointing to readily available sources of information on projects, products and applications is also provided. Audience: A valuable reference for practitioners and users. A must read for anyone who is planning or in the middle of a video database project. It is also a good source of information to those wanting to be inititated to the subject. Researchers as well as teachers should find it essential reading.
