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.

Students' Views

“I came from Lebanon to Athens seeking a top-level Master’s degree, but what I found was much more than that. I enrolled in the MSITT program at AIT which has proved to be a great forward-push to my career. Added to AIT’s unusually high level of proficiency in education and research, the friendliness of its staff and the beauty of Greece were unforgettable, giving me a most memorable experience.”

Johnny Awad, MSITT 2005, (Lebanon)
