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 />

<strong>ECTS</strong> credits: 3<br />

Weekly classes: 4lec + 0sem + 3labs + 0ps<br />

Assessment: exam<br />

Type of exam: written<br />

Departments involved:<br />

Department of Computing<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 />
