Aims and Objectives:

This course introduces concepts, issues, design and implementation of hypermedia systems. The media to be considered include text, digital audio, digital image and digital video. At the end of this course, the students should have the expertise and competence to design, implement and deploy hypermedia systems.

Brief Description:

Hypermedia, as exemplified by WWW, is a new electronic model for organizing and disseminating information. It is characterized by two attributes. First, it organizes information as a collection of independent nodes, which are connected through links. The contents of the nodes can be in any medium type, including text, audio, video, graphics, or even programs. Second, it supports a flexible, non-linear navigational approach to accessing information. This module presents techniques for the representation, storage, interaction and access of digital multimedia information in the hypermedia form. The first part of this module covers the content aspects of digital media technologies. It discusses the characteristics, mathematic foundation, encoding and processing of digital multimedia data including: audio, image and video (JPEG) and video (MPEG). It also covers standards in digital multimedia data such as JPEG, MPEG. The second part of this module covers the essence of hypermedia technologies including: design and structure of hypermedia system, hypermedia models, WWW, XML, and various architecture and copyright issues.
