This book contains the proceedings of the Fourth International Workshop on Multimedia Information Systems (MIS’98), held in Istanbul, Turkey, in September 1998. Building on the success of previous workshops in Arlington, VA, West Point, NY, and Como, Italy, this focused event gathered participants from diverse disciplines, including theory, algorithms, real-time systems, networks, operating systems, graphics, visualization, databases, and artificial intelligence, all centered on multimedia systems research. The program featured 19 technical papers, with 13 accepted as regular papers and 6 as short contributions, covering areas such as multimedia storage system design, image storage and retrieval, quality of service considerations, networking support, distributed virtual environments, and multimedia system architecture issues. Three invited talks were presented by experts in the field: Satish K. Tripathi from the University of California, Riverside, discussed "Quality of Service Support for Multimedia Data on Internet"; Paul Emmerman from the US Army Research Laboratory talked about "Visualizing the Digital Battlefield"; and Val Tannen from the University of Pennsylvania presented "Heterogeneous Data Integration with Mobile Information Manager." Additionally, a panel discussion organized by Chahab Nastar of INRIA, France, focused on "Trends in Visual Information Retrieval."
