The increasing power of networks and computers today allow the use of multimedia information systems, which was unthinkable a few years ago. The increasing flexibility of workplaces today requires information systems where data access is independent of time and place. The event will cover application development taking into account such requirements.

Knowledge of communication networks, network protocols and standard techniques for developing distributed applications. Knowledge of different media types and their complexity in processing in SW systems

Students know and understand current methods and restrictions in the development of distributed multimedia applications. They can design and implement the use of different media types in distributed environments.

Students acquire detailed knowledge and understanding of the modelling, design and development of distributed multimedia applications. Current research findings and topics are covered on a case-by-case basis for further study. Students expand their knowledge of advanced technologies and methods for developing and implementing distributed multimedia information systems. They gain comprehensive knowledge of the basic technologies and architecture of such systems.

Students understand the technical and theoretical fundamentals of distributed multimedia applications, including networking capabilities, software architecture, and data management. They can analyse complex system components and their integration.

Students put their knowledge into practice by designing and developing distributed multimedia applications. They apply modern development tools and techniques, taking into account aspects such as scalability, security and user-friendliness.

Students contribute to improving the performance and functionality of distributed multimedia systems by developing innovative solutions and approaches. They evaluate new technologies for their applicability and potential for expanding existing systems.

Students present their development projects and research findings effectively and are able to communicate technical information to both experts and laypeople. They work in teams to overcome interdisciplinary challenges and develop synergistic solutions.

Students reflect on the social and ethical implications of the distributed multimedia systems they develop or use. They develop an understanding of the responsibility that comes with creating and implementing such technologies.
