Visual IFPS Plus for Business or Copyright and Multimedia Products

Visual IFPS/Plus for Business

Author: Paul Gray

The Interactive Financial Planning System (abbreviated Visual IFPS /Plus) was originally developed in the early 1970's by Dr. Gerald R. Wagner (then a professor at The University of Texas at Austin) and his students. Its original impetus came from the desire to model risk in a way that could be easily understood by executives. The implementation that resulted is a general - purpose financial panning language that is particularly user friendly. Since then, Visual EFPS / Plus has been developed further and marketed by COMSHARE, Incorporated of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and has been widely adopted in both industry and universities.

Copyright and Multimedia Products: A Comparative Analysis

Author: Irini A Stamatoudi

Multimedia products have become highly successful. Yet they are often inadequately protected by existing national and international copyright schemes. This study is one of the first comprehensive, comparative analyses of multimedia works and copyright protection. Stamatoudi considers the nature of the multimedia work, and existing legislation, as well as collections and compilations, databases, audiovisual works and computer programs. Finally, she offers a model for a European legislative solution. Her work will interest academics and students, as well as lawyers and copyright policy makers.
