Web-based Support Systems (WSS) are an emerging multidisciplinary research area in which one studies the support of human activities with the Web as the common platform,mediumandinterface.
A big amount of important, 'economically relevant' information, is buried within the huge mass of multimedia documents that correspond to some form of 'narrative' description.
This book draws together experts from the multimedia, the knowledge and the integrated multimedia-knowledge domains to explore how knowledge technologies can be exploited to create new multimedia applications, and how multimedia technologies can provide new contexts for the use of knowledge technologies.
Information technology has been used in organisational settings and for organisational purposes such as accounting, for a half century, but IT is now increasingly being used for the purposes of mediating and regulating complex activities in which multiple professional users are involved, such as in factories, hospitals, architectural offices, and so on.
As we enter the third decade of the World Wide Web (WWW), the textual revolution has seen a tremendous change in the availability of online information.
This tightly-edited collection of papers from leading researchers worldwide provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art in the field of multimedia data mining and knowledge discovery, and discusses the variety of hot topics in multimedia data mining research.
Data Mining, the automatic extraction of implicit and potentially useful information from data, is increasingly used in commercial, scientific and other application areas.
The topic this book addresses originated from a panel discussion at the 2004 ACM SIGKDD (Special Interest Group on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining) Conference held in Seattle, Washington, USA.
This book contains the proceedings of the Second European Conference on Computer Network Defence to take place in December 2006 at the School of Computing, University of Glamorgan, in the UK, and the Workshop preceding it.
Information visualization is not only about creating graphical displays of complex and latent information structures; it contributes to a broader range of cognitive, social, and collaborative activities.
This book contains the First European Conference on Computer Network Defence to take place in December 2005 at the School of Computing, University of Glamorgan, in the UK.
Space support in databases poses new challenges in every part of a database management system & the capability of spatial support in the physical layer is considered very important.
The growth in the amount of data collected and generated has exploded in recent times with the widespread automation of various day-to-day activities, advances in high-level scienti?
Thisiswherewetrytoconvinceyoutobuythisbook,tellyouwhatittriestodo, define a few terms and generally set the scene - all of which makes this more like an introduction than a first chapter, but no-one reads introductions so we called it a chapter.
This two-volume set LNCS 15718-15719 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd European Semantic Web Conference, ESWC 2025, held in Portoroz, Slovenia, during June 1–5, 2025.
This proceedings constitutes selected papers from the Workshops KGMA, SemiBDMA, MADM, AIEDM and STBDM which were held in conjunction with APWeb-WAIM 2024 which took place in Jinhua, China, August 30-September 1, 2024.
This book explains and explores the principal techniques of Data Mining, the automatic extraction of implicit and potentially useful information from data, which is increasingly used in commercial, scientific and other application areas.

This successful textbook on predictive text mining offers a unified perspective on a rapidly evolving field, integrating topics spanning the varied disciplines of data science, machine learning, databases, and computational linguistics.
This easy-to-read textbook/reference presents a comprehensive introduction to databases, opening with a concise history of databases and of data as an organisational asset.
This comprehensive guide exposes the security risks and vulnerabilities of computer networks and networked devices, offering advice on developing improved algorithms and best practices for enhancing system security.
Many methods and models have been proposed for solving difficult problems such as prediction, planning and knowledge discovery in application areas such as bioinformatics, speech and image analysis.
When you first hear the term Information Assurance you tend to conjure up an image of a balanced set of reasonable measures that have been taken to protect the information after an assessment has been made of risks that are posed to it.
Principles of Visual Information Retrieval introduces the basic concepts and techniques in VIR and develops a foundation that can be used for further research and study.
In this book, Tony Sammes and Brian Jenkinson show how information held in computer systems can be recovered and how it may be deliberately hidden or subverted for criminal purposes.
This volume results from the four-day scientific Second International East/West Database Workshop which took place 25th-28th September 1994, in Klagenfurt, Austria, continuing a series of workshops started in Kiev in 1990 (Lecture Notes in Computer Science No.
Despite the volume of research carried out into the design of database systems and the design of user interfaces, there is little cross-fertilization between the two areas.
The areas of active and real-time databases have seen a tremendous growth of interest in the past few years, particularly with regard to their support of time-critical and embedded applications.
Dan, is this book going to provide a substantial, coherent and timely contribution to CSCW or is it just going to be a ragbag of papers from several meetings stuck together?
Information retrieval (IR) is becoming an increasingly important area as scientific, business and government organisations take up the notion of "e;information superhighways"e; and make available their full text databases for searching.
Text and Context: Document Storage and Processing describes information processing techniques, including those which do not appear in conventional textbooks on database systems.
This volume results from the regular sessions of the Second International Workshop of the Moscow ACM SIGMOD Chapter "e;Advances in Databases and Information Systems"e; (ADBIS'95) that took place 27th-30th June 1995, in Moscow, Russia.
