Abstract :
Due to recent growth of interest in multimedia applications, an increasing demand has emerged for efficient storage, management and browsing in multimedia databases. This fact has made the content-based retrieval (CBR) concept very popular during the past decade. However, it has been practically shown that CBR tools respond successfully to the inexperienced user queries very rarely. It is for this reason that in commercial systems, queries are supported by the use of annotations or manual indexing. In this work, content-based query, retrieval and indexing capabilities have been combined with an intelligent agent framework over a simple database architecture. The proposed system is based on the ideas presented in (Xirouhakis et al., 1998) which are implemented and further extended in this work
