ANNOTATION

End users’ demands for new and more attractive services and applications are still increasing. Multimedia services based on integration of audio visual content are a basis for many modern services. A measure of customer's experiences with a service (quality of experience) is important factor at service sustainability. This module concentrates on modern multimedia services whether they are provided via Internet (IP based services) or integrated with digital broadcasting systems via cable, satellite or terrestrially (HbbTV services) or independently from transport networks within next generation networks (NGN services).

OBJECTIVES

Main objective of this course is to provide readers with basic knowledge in the area of current multimedia services. Students can become familiar with modern services and applications such as multimedia Internet services (software or game as a service, streaming services), HbbTV services, electronic and mobile services (e-commerce, e-government, e-health), NGN services (VoIP, IPTV, hosted IP services) and services and applications based on WebRTC.

KEYWORDS

HbbTV service, catch-up service, start-over service, IPTV, eService, eCommerce, WebRTC.
