Data Mining and Multimedia

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course covers the essential concepts, principles, techniques, and mechanisms for the design, analysis, use, and implementation of distributed multimedia systems. Multimedia information management, mobile databases, and XML/WML issues will be emphasized. With regard to multimedia information management, content-based retrieval of audio, video, and images, and various compression techniques will be covered. With regard to mobile databases, different data broadcasting techniques based on the efficient utilization of wireless bandwidth and battery power will be presented. Regarding XML/WML issues, existing techniques for mapping between relational data and XML documents will be covered, including WML. All the techniques examined in this course will incorporate state-of-the-art information, including traditional approaches as well as developments in recent research. By providing a balanced view of theory and practice, the course should allow the student to understand, use, and build practical multimedia information management systems.
COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Overall, it is the intention of this course to provide a basic understanding of the issues and problems involved in multimedia systems, a knowledge of current practical techniques for satisfying the needs of such systems, and an indication of the current research approaches that are likely to provide a basis for tomorrow's solutions.
