during my sabbatical 2011/12 -- multimedia @ VU

From august 2011 to august 2012, I plan to take a sabbatical year for travel, further study and personal development. With my collegues, we strive for as less an impact as possible for students following my multimedia courses. First year and obligatory bachelor courses will be taken care of by post-docs from the Business, Web & Media group as indicated below.

courses 2011/2012

Project Interactive Multimedia [400557] -- dr. Michiel Hildebrand
Multimedia Authoring [400440] -- dr. Victor de Boer

For the remaining courses, students are advised to find an alternative either at VU or UvA, as indicated below. The following courses will not be given in 2011/12:

courses that will not be given in 2011/12

Visual Design [400147] -- will be resumed in 2012/13
Intelligent Multimedia Technology [400441] -- will be resumed in 2012/13
Project Multimedia & Game Development [400358] -- will be resumed in 2012/13

As recommended courses available at VU, we may mention:

recommended course(s) at VU

dr. Lora Aroyo -- Web & Communication (provisional title)
prof. dr. Dick Bulterman -- Distributed Multimedia Systems

And in addition, interesting multimedia courses are also available at UvA, with whom we have close cooperation. As possible courses, we may recommend:

recommended course(s) at UvA

dr. Marcel Worring -- Information Visualization
dr. Rein van den Boomgaard -- Computer Vision
dr. Th. Gevers -- Intelligent Multimedia Systems
dr. F. Nack -- Knowledge-based Media Systems
dr. J.M. Geusebroek -- Multimedia Information Systems
dr. Y. Engelhardt -- New Media Project
drs. R.F. Aldershoff -- Game programming
dr. J.M. Geusebroek -- Computer Vision AI
prof.dr. M. de Rijke -- Advanced Information Retrieval

Students that select any of the above or other courses to complete their master program in time, are strongly advised to request formal approval of their program from the exam committee. For master thesis projects, students mCS/MM that wish to finish before july 2011, should contact me before december 2010. Other students must look for a thesis-advisor among the staff of the CS-department of the FEW. Further information may be obtained from Otto Schrofer or the VU staff members mentioned below.

postscript

Although finding suitable courses and topics is adequately provided for, I wish to indicate some potential problems that may occur in the period that I am not available:

technical support for multimedia courses and projects
supervision of mCS/MM master thesis projects
guidance and mentorship for (foreign) mCS/MM students

The lack of technical support concerns mainly to use of XIMPEL and the flex/as3 SDK.

Currently Otto Schrofer has been mentioned as contact person, but this may change in the course of 2011/2012. Such changes will be announced either via email or posted on the multimedia @ VU common(s). (Æ)
