report 07

 Time is irreversible. Despite the pessimism towards my efforts in game research, this phrase, taken from my Brain STORM lecture gaming is a waste of time, expresses that research in gaming is worthwhile, simply because of the interest of third parties, both from within the VU and from outside.

report 2006

 Time never stands still. After observing that times flies like an arrow in my report 2005, there have been many developments. First of all, I am happy to observe that most of the planned publications have been realized, as listed below, and that apart from the uncertainty about multimedia @ VU, which led to a number of discussions with the management, the future does not look so bad.

project(s)

 The overall direction of research as outlined in research plan 2006 which is oriented towards the application of game technology in various application domains seems to be fruitful, not in the least due to interest of parties within the VU, albeit outside of FEW:
The climate game project is done in cooperation with the Climate Centre to prepare a submission for the Academische Jaarprijs. The Second Life project is done in cooperation with among others Frans Feldberg from FEWEB, and has resulted in a provisional funding of 10.000 euro from the CvB to further explore this initiative in the context of the planned Media Institute. The 1st of march, the opening of VU @ Scond Life was reported on the (national) RTL news television broadcast, and (locally) in Amsterdam covered by AT5 and CampusTV.. Several newspapers, among which Telgraaf and Parool, also reported on this.

multimedia @ VU

 The discussions in the fall 2006, based on my report in gesprek -- achtergronden van een conflict have led to the conclusion that the activities multimedia are irreconcilable with the research agenda of IMSE. A transfer to the BI group, in particular the group of Guus Schreiber, is in preparation. To maintain a high technical level, I am updating the course Intelligent Multimedia Technology, with the help of Zeljko Obrenovic (CWI)

Further I will strive to contribute to the integration of multimedia and game development courses in the various curricula, in principle also on the level of management and curriculum organisation.

In my vision the curriculum could benefit from more attention to game development, in various ways, for both information science and computer science students, as well as, for that matter, students artificial intelligents.

Personally, I will strive for sufficient visibility of our research in this area for the international scientific community.

plan multimedia -- 2009-2011, en daarna

 Met het oog op mijn deeltijd aanstelling bij de Universiteit Twente, en mijn voornemen na afloop van die aanstelling, in juli 2011, een jaar sabbatical verlof te nemen, is het zaak tijdig maatregelen te nemen voor de (eventuele) continuering van het onderwijs multimedia.

achtergrond

 Het multimedia onderwijs is in 2000/2001 opgezet voornamelijk ten behoeve van de opleiding/minor Multimedia & Cultuur. Daarnaast is tezelfdertijd ook een specialisatierichting Multimedia bij Informatica ingesteld. Deze afstudeerspecialisatie heeft een bescheiden aantal afstudeerders opgeleverd, waarvan een enkele cum laude, en heeft momenteel een 7-tal, als zodanig, ingeschreven studenten, zie:

ondersteuning

 Bij de begeleiding van zowel master-studenten, Informatica en Informatiekunde, alsook (Informatica) bachelor projecten spelen
  • dr. Jacco van Ossenbruggen (CWI/VU) -- co-supervisie
  • dr. Ronald Siebes (VU) -- co-supervisie
een belangrijke rol, zowel als tweede lezer, en voor co-supervisie. Beiden zijn in staat, in belangrijke mate, onderwijs en coordinatie van de multimedia projecten over te nemen. Ook Dick Bulterman kan, vanzelfsprekend, hierin een belangrijke rol spelen.

Voor een vak als visual design, echter, is de inzet van een daarvoor gekwalificeerde docent nodig, zoals bijvoorbeeld

  • Federico Campanale -- visual design
die de afgelopen jaren, vanuit zijn activiteiten als media kunstenaar, als gast docent bij visual design is opgetreden.

Essentieel voor de continuiteit van het multimedia onderwijs, alsook project(en) multimedia en game development, in in mijn opvatting de voortzetting van de aanstelling van

  • Winoe Bhikharie (CV) -- (project) interactieve media & game development
die in de afgelopen periode, behalve zijn technisch werk aan het XIMPEL platform, ook zijn inzet heeft getoond bij VPR activiteiten, zoals de masterclass game development.

vraagstelling(en)

 Samenvattend, in overleg met de onderwijsdirectie en de leiding van de sectie BMW zal een oplossing gezocht moeten worden voor de volgende issues:
  • onderwijs multimedia vakken in academisch jaar 2011/12
  • technische ondersteuning multimedia vakken en projecten
  • coordinatie van en begeleiding afstudeerders specialisatie mCS-MM
In het bovenstaande heb ik enkele hints gegeven hoe deze issues aangepakt kunnen worden en een discontinuiteit in het multimedia onderwijs, op de korte termijn en middellange termijn, voorkomen kan worden. Deze hints/suggesties kunnen in nader overleg verder uitgewerkt worden.

A. Eliëns, 10/3/09
