Multimedia, Knowledge and Web Technologies Research Area

Overview

The Multimedia, Knowledge and Web Technologies research area, following the emerging paradigm of cross-disciplinary research in the media and web worlds, masters education, research and development activities that build upon and innovate through the synergy of web (Semantic Web/Web 2.0/Web 3.0) technologies and knowledge engineering practices with multimedia technologies, aiming at devising next generation intelligent, self-aware/self-adaptable rich media interactive web applications and services deployed and validated in a number of application areas, such as:

  • E-learning, edutainment, serious/educational games
  • Entertainment through gaming (multi-player, online, mobile)
  • DTV/iTV and digital cinema, VoD, web TV, IPTV, video on the web
  • Multimedia archives and digital libraries, rich media web portals, multimedia information systems and search engines, recommender systems
  • Social networking applications, social media (Blogs, YouTube, Flickr, Delicious, Facebook, etc.)
  • Virtual/mixed reality worlds in digital entertainment, art, culture, education, collaboration spaces, etc.
  • E-commerce, e-business, e-government, e-publishing, etc.

Through research in this area we envision to build a solid research base in the areas of multimedia, knowledge and web technologies, so as to elicit from innovation new applications and services, and, by exploiting synergies, prove the synergetic concept in carefully selected application areas.

Student's Views

"I started getting to like my academic life in AIT and my life in general in Greece, that I involuntarily stopped the countdown when I noticed that time was flying by so fast!! It was mostly the heavy yet interesting academic work in AIT, the wide variety of spare-time activities that I could practice in Athens and the ease of making good friends in Greece which made my stay so smooth and fun that I actually had to leave Greece at the end with heartache. I had organized all my courses to be in the fall and spring semesters, so that I would free all my summertime remaining semester for my thesis and summer fun in Greece, which is a period not to miss there (and which I actually will never forget!!)"
