The objectives of this Congressional hearing on high definition information systems were: (1) to receive testimony on standards for systems that permit interoperability between the computer, communications, and broadcasting industries; (2) to examine the implications of the Grand Alliance, an agreement by high definition television (HDTV) proponents to pool their efforts to produce a single system for resurrecting a domestic manufacturing capability and related consumer electronics equipment and components; and (3) to determine the role of government in supporting the development of technologies important to high definition information systems. Testimony was received from Michael Liebhold, Media Architecture Research, Apple Computer, Inc.; Branko J. Gerovac, Advanced Technology, Communications, Entertainment, and Media Business Unit, Digital Equipment Corp.; Robert M. Rast, HDTV Business Development, General Instrument Corp.; James Carnes, David Sarnoff Research Center; Robert K. Graves, Video Technology/Infrastructure, American Telephone and Telegraph; Howard Miller, Broadcast Operations, Engineering, and Computer Services, Public Broadcasting Service; Robert C. Hummel, Animation Technology for Walt Disney Television Animation; and W. Russell Neuman, Murrow Center, Tufts University. Additional material submitted for the record is appended. (KRN)

Databases and information systems are now indispensable for the day-to-day functioning of businesses and society. This book presents 25 selected papers from those delivered at the 12th International Baltic Conference on Databases and Information Systems 2016 (DB&IS 2016), held in Riga, Latvia, in July 2016. Since it began in 1994, this biennial conference has become an international forum for researchers and developers in the field of databases, information systems and related areas, and the papers collected here cover a wide spectrum of topics related to the development of information systems and data processing. These include: the development of ontology applications; tools, technologies and languages for model-driven development; decision support systems and data mining; natural language processing and building linguistic components of information systems; advanced systems and technologies related to information systems, databases and information technologies in teaching and learning. The book will be of interest to all those whose work involves the design, application and use of databases and information systems.

The 40-year history of high definition television technology is traced from initial studies in Japan, through its development in Europe, and then to the United States, where the first all-digital systems were implemented. Details are provided about advances in HDTV technology in Australia and Japan, Europe's introduction of HDTV, Brazil's innovative use of MPEG-4 and China's terrestrial standard. The impact of HDTV on broadcast facility conversion and the influx of computer systems and information technology are described, as well as the contributions of the first entrepreneurial HD videographers and engineers. This thoroughly researched volume highlights several of the landmark high-definition broadcasts from 1988 onward, includes input gathered from more than 50 international participants, and concludes with the rollout of consumer HDTV services throughout the world.
