Aim: The field of hypermedia covers a broad spectrum of systems and facilities, which makes it possible to combine heterogeneous media in advanced information structures with sound, video, text, graphics, etc. The basic idea is to organise information in a network of nodes and links to form a searchable structure. Links may represent many different types of relationships (associations, actions, etc.) between nodes and parts of their contents. The course gives an introduction to the basic concepts, the history and state-of-the-art of hypermedia. Students will learn how to design and evaluate hypermedia applications with af specified functionality.
|
Contents: The course gives an introduction to several concepts: links,anchors, organisation of information in networks, compositional structures, synchronisation of time-based data (sound and video), browsing and navigation. Furthermore, topics like information retrieval and filtering, support for cooperation and shared whiteboards will be discussed. Early examples of pioneering multimedia and hypermedia systems (e.g. Augment, Xanadu, Intermedia, NoteCards, KMS) will be described. New developments within hypermedia on the Internet (WWW, VRML and HyperWave), distributed hypermedia and open hypermedia (e.g. DEVISE Hypermedia, MicroCosm, SEPIA) will also be discussed. Students will have the opportunity to get hands-on experience with a number of these systems.
Various principles for implementation of hypermedia and their strengths and weaknesses in different areas of application will be discussed. Specific areas, where hypermedia can be applied, will be mentioned, e.g. product development, medical applications and software development.
