disclaimer

This document originally dates from around 2005, and although most of it is still true in spirit, some actual information may be outdated in fact. The multimedia-related curricula originated from research and education in software engineering. And, as they say, you can take the man out of software engineering, but (apparently) not the software engineering out of the man.

    The (original) introduction multimedia syllabus, entitled topical media & game development covers all the background material and contains also a rationale of the educational and research activities that fall under my supervision.
