Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book presents a design for a multimedia storage and retrieval system (MSR) that addresses these issues. ... The material is well handed and clearly written. ... Especially helpful are periodic summaries of the data elements involved in the calculations. ... The theoretical mathematical analysis is supported by numerous charts showing the results of simulation runs. ... This book should be of interest to those working in either research or professional positions ... . could also be used in a graduate-level computer science course." (G. R. Mayforth, Computing Reviews, August, 2006)
