The rapid proliferation of Multimedia and Network Information Systems is one of the key
features of our times. What is also important is that the pace of change is ever increasing.
University projects of today will form the core of consumer products of tomorrow. Therefore it
is very important to have a broad view of the recent scientific investigation in that area.
This was the primary reason for gathering this collection of carefully selected and hopefully
representative research projects found solutions and finally applications. They are the
achievements of scientific teams from several countries. The contents of the monograph has been
divided into four parts: 1) Multimedia Information Technology 2) Information Systems
Specification 3) Information Systems Applications 4) Web Systems and Network Technologies.
The book presents up to date research from the diverse fields of multimedia and Internet data
