Multimedia Conference focuses on technological challenges
This year's Multimedia Conference presents talks, demos and posters on Multimedia Storage and Retrieval; Multimedia Networking; Distributed Multimedia Information Systems; and Multimedia Content Creation and Applications.
The Conference is held as part of the third-year Multimedia course for students on the Computer Science and Information Technology in Organisations degree programmes. The students are expected to organize the event and run it as a proper conference, showcasing their own work.
Dr David Millard is one of the course leaders: ââ¬ËThe ECS Multimedia Conference is concerned with technology that influences our everyday lives,ââ¬â¢ he saysââ¬â¢, ââ¬Ëincluding the future of digital and internet television, games and virtual worlds, and new methods of collaborative working, learning and sharing. The conference is a great opportunity for students to discuss the technological challenges and explore how we may live in the future.ââ¬â¢
This yearââ¬â¢s conference is sponsored by JP Morgan, who will also be providing the keynote address. The event takes place on Thursday 17 January, from 4 pm until 10 pm, in Zepler Seminar Rms 1 and 2, and food and refreshments will be provided.
All students and staff in the School are warmly invited to attend.
