Additional information
This course focuses on technologies and wider aspects of Internet services in relation to content. Multimedia content, commercial and user-generated, has been driving the transformation of the web, with many popular Internet services being built around it, directly or indirectly. The objective is to provide an understanding of how such services are designed, developed, interlinked and maintained, so that the student acquires knowledge valuable for working on, or further researching, this domain. In an end-to-end manner the course covers key technologies and enablers, hands-on implementation examples, popular paradigms and use cases, as well as legal, privacy and trust issues.
