Objetivos

This course will help students understand the fundamental principals of multimedia systems. It covers the state of the art technology and the necessary background to design and develop sophisticated multimedia systems. The content of this course aims to teach students how multimedia systems are currently being used in different industries. It will introduce state of the art articles and scientific papers throughout the year.

The goal is to instill in students the same curiosity, passion to discover and desire to convey knowledge that drives researchers to explore new areas.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

The overall idea is that students have to choose a topic to research, develop a multimedia application (if applicable), write a paper on that subject and then present it at a conference, which will be organized by the students at the end of the course. The process includes blind peer review of the papers by other students; the final version of the paper and presentation must include the feedback of the reviewers. The conference will be held at FCUP main auditorium and will be attended by students, staff and invited participants. Their will be a jury (to be designated) that will award the best paper.

Provas e trabalhos especiais

Assignments:
1. State of the art paper/article presentation

Read, understand and present a state of the art multimedia article. The two (2) students presenting the article will also need to write 5 questions with the corresponding answers to hand in to the professor at the beginning of the presentation. The presentation must be 20 minutes including questions (15 minutes presentation + 5 minutes debate).

2. Multimedia project

there are two options: a) develop a multimedia system; b) survey on a specific multimedia topic. In both cases, a group of two (2) students will need to write a paper of minimum of four pages (double column) and a maximum of tenpages that reflects their research. The longer the report, the more contribution work needs to have. The reports must be accompanied by a video with a demo of the work. The work will be presented at the final conference and the presentation will be also graded. The presentation must not exceed 20 minutes and after the presentation the audience will be allowed to ask questions.

3. Blind peer paper review
Each student will review one classmate's paper and provide feedback, following a template provided by the professor.
