ABSTRACT
One of the most burning issues in computing currently is to develop methods, which will allow us to cope with the stream of multimedia data that is being generated and disseminated through the Internet every day. This must be done by providing a way to intelligently filter the incoming information, classify and present it to the users in a comprehensible manner. Much work has been done already in the field of processing large quantities of numeric and textual data and also in the field of multimedia data processing. Providing efficient algorithms for processing the amount of multimedia data we have available today remains to be a major challenge.
