posted from time to time. Any
information posted to the web site is deemed to have been notified to all
students.
This subject provides an introduction to multimedia programming
by exploring multimedia infrastructure and developing skills in the programming
technologies used in multimedia. Infrastructure includes both how the elements
of a multimedia system relate, for example MPEG 21, and foundational concepts
used in producing multimedia, for example matrix transforms, simulations,
kinematics and the dynamics of motion. Programming technologies include OO
programming, 2D graphics, simple image and audio processing in Java; web
presentation technologies such a SMILE; multimedia messaging; and an overview
of multimedia applications programming interfaces, such as Java media framework
and QuickTime.
On successful completion of this subject, students should be
able to:
1. Design and code medium sized programs and classes in Java for
multimedia applications.
2. Describe and use coordinate frames, transformations and
simulations as applied to multimedia graphics.
3. Develop object oriented designs for multimedia applications.
4. Write programs to simulate and visualise simple physical
systems.
5. Explain how multimedia elements relate to form a multimedia
infrastructure.
Attendance
Requirements
It is the responsibility
of students to attend all lectures/tutorials/labs/seminars/practical work for
subjects for which you are enrolled.
It should be noted that according to Course Rule 003{Interpretation Point 2 (t)} each credit point for a single session subject has the value of about two hours per week including class attendance. Therefore, the amount of time spent on each 6 credit point subject should be at least 12 hours per week, which includes lectures/tutorials/labs etc.
Satisfactory
attendance is deemed to be attendance at approximately 80%* of the
allocated contact hours. Attendance rolls may be kept for lectures, TUTORIALS and laboratories. If you are
present for less than 80%* you need to apply for special consideration,
otherwise a fail grade may be recorded.
Students
MUST attend their allocated tutorial
unless they have the written permission of the subject coordinator.
The subject
material will be presented through a series of lectures and laboratory
sessions. There will be a one-hour lecture and a 2-hour laboratory session
during which students will be required to complete a programming task.

During Exam Period |
If E is the student exam
mark out of 40, and A is the student assignment mark out of 60, the student
final mark will be determined as follows:
if E >= 20: final
mark is E + A;
if 15 <= E < 20:
final mark is /min/{E+A, 49};
Students must refer to the Faculty Handbook or online references which
contains a range of policies on educational issues and student matters.
Please note that if this is your last session and you are granted a supplementary exam, be aware that your results will not be processed in time to meet the graduation deadline.
