Abstract

A concept of a new type of information systems is proposed for consideration. This concept views film databases as a core of a problem-solving environment. Items of such databases are special-purpose animation or video films. These films are considered as units for data/knowledge acquisition and as communication units for computer-human dialog. Operations with data/knowledge units as well as retrieval operations on databases are specified by films, too. This paper presents briefly a basis of the VIM system project related to the development of a problem-solving environment (a special data warehouse) which integrates multimedia units for the specification of application algorithms (including data mining), experiment control strategies, and visualization of data generated during an experiment. Some details of a few films as well as the film management are also discussed.
