Course Objectives:

Multimedia systems have become very popular after 1990's, and extensive software has been developed for multimedia. However, there is a lack of formalism in modeling multimedia systems. Furthermore, the affects of network parameters on distributed and/or real-time multimedia systems are not studied well.

The aim of this course is to analyze various recent issues related with multimedia systems, focusing on the modeling of real-time multimedia systems and networking.
