Abstract:<br />
The objective of the Multimedia systems and technologies course is to acquaint students with the<br />
technology needed to create multimedia products, comprising text, graphic, audio and video objects<br />
according to a scenario prepared in advance, as well as with the structure of the systems for developing<br />
and recreating such products. The course examines basic graphic, sound and video file formats and<br />
compression methods and the use of some popular authoring systems. Course prerequisite is the<br />
<strong>Information</strong> Systems in Industry course.<br />
Course content:<br />
Multimedia – history, definitions, application area. Technology of creating multimedia products. Systems<br />
for developing multimedia products. Methods and tools for creating, editing and saving text objects.<br />
Methods and tools for creating, compressing, editing and saving graphic objects. Methods and tools for<br />
creating, compressing, editing and saving audio objects. Methods and tools for creating, compressing,<br />
editing and saving video objects. Assembling, testing and distribution of multimedia applications. Videoconferencing<br />
systems. Virtual reality.<br />
Teaching and assessment:<br />
The lectures acquaint students in theory with the main problems of creating multimedia products. The<br />
workshops allow each student to develop multimedia objects and integrate them in a multimedia product<br />
following a given scenario. The course finishes with a written exam.<br />

Abstract:<br />
The course has a practical orientation and aims at giving the students knowledge and practical skills as<br />
well as practical experience in the area of modern technologies for Internet programming. Students are<br />
introduced to the Java and PHP programming languages (the latter in combination with MySQL DBMS),<br />
HTML, the HTTP and CGI protocols. The course provides broad, rather than deep, knowledge and skills.<br />
The students may deepen their knowledge and skills in one or more of the technologies while working on<br />
their Master's thesis. This process is facilitated by the fact that all environments, tools, documentation, etc.<br />
used in the course are open-source and widely available on the Internet. A prerequisite for the course is<br />
some previous experience with programming languages, computer networks and databases.<br />
Course content:<br />
Introduction. Internet history. Main services. A review of languages and technologies for Internet<br />
programming. TCP/IP protocol stack. The HTTP protocol. HTML. The Java programming language.<br />
Dynamic HTML content (CGI-based). Server-side programming languages (PHP). The MySQL database<br />
management system and its usage by means of PHP.<br />
Teaching and assessment:<br />
The lectures acquaint the students with the theoretical aspects of the course content. The workshops<br />
follow loosely the lectures. They start with the creation of a simple, static Web page and gradually add<br />
functionality to it. The final result is a not very complex interactive site with database request processing<br />
capability. The workshop tutor gives the students a semester mark based on their activity. The course<br />
finishes with an exam. The exam includes a test as well as solving a simple problem on a computer. The<br />
final mark is a weighted average of all components: 30% for the test; 50% for the problem solving; 20% for<br />
the semester mark.<br />
