In may 2006
uur mission statement still is:
... to study aspects of the deployment and architecture of virtual environments as an interface to (intelligent) multimedia information systems
As a follow up on our intelligent multimedia research,
in which we developed a platform for intelligent agents
in 3D virtual space,
we
now focus on the use of
game technology for immersive serious applications, in particular:
This research is, at the moment of writing, the end of may 2006, still in its inceptive
and explorative phase, and primarily done in cooperation with students
as part of the regular multimedia courses or individual projects.
In 2006 and 2007 I was involved in a number of projects,
cooperating with partners outside of the Faculty of Sciences.
As I wrote in report 2006
Time never stands still.
After observing that times flies like an arrow in my report 2005, there have been many developments. First of all, I am happy to observe that most of the planned publications have been realized, and that apart from the uncertainty about multimedia @ VU, which led to a number of discussions with the management, the future does not look so bad.
The overall direction of research as outlined in
research plan 2006 which is oriented towards the application of
game technology in various application domains seems to be fruitful,
not in the least due to interest of parties within the VU,
albeit outside of FEW:
The climate game project is done in cooperation with
the Climate Centre to prepare a submission for the
Academische Jaarprijs.
The Second Life project is done in cooperation with
among others Frans Feldberg from FEWEB, and has resulted in
a provisional funding of 10.000 euro from the CvB to further
explore this initiative in the context of the planned
Media Institute. The 1st of march, the opening of
VU @ Scond Life was reported on the (national) RTL news
television broadcast, and (locally) in Amsterdam covered by AT5
and CampusTV..
Several newspapers, among which Telegraaf and Parool, also reported on this.
Currently, we are developing a demo of Clima Futura, to acquire sponsors needed to take the game in production.
Finally, september 2007 I completed the manuscript of
topical media & game development, that started as a syllabus for the introduction multimedia course, but has grown into a personal statement expressing my views on a wide variety topics related to multimedia and game development.

workshops (organized)
program committees
Over the years, I have initiated new research that
may, in retrospect, be characterized as research in intelligent multimedia.
My group consisted of Ph.D. students, a post-doc and
a scientific programmer, as well as (occasionally) students.
From 1994-2001, our research efforts
have focussed on developing models and software
architectures for multimedia and hypermedia
applications.
For describing the research we make a distinction between
three (related) sub-projects, respectively
structured hypermedia,
interactive visualisation,
and intelligent multimedia.
structured hypermedia
principal researcher: J. van Ossenbruggen
promotion: 10/4/2001
thesis: Structured hypermedia -- a matter of style
supervision: dr. A. Eliëns, prof. dr. J.C. van Vliet
collaboration(s): dr. L .Hardman and dr L. Rutledge (CWI)
status: finished
project description
The project started with the construction of a software
framework for developing web-based hypermedia applications,
the hush library.
A number of prototype multimedia applications were built,
exploring the extension of web-based hypertext
with for example music and video.
In cooperation with members of the CWI Multimedia Group,
work was done on developing models for hypermedia applications.
This cooperation resulted in the formalization of the
Amsterdam Hypermedia Model, an extension of the Dexter
Hypertext Reference Model.

interactive visualisation
project funding: USF SINS
principal researcher: S.P.C. Schönhage
promotion: 8/5/2001
thesis: Diva: Architectural Perspectives on Information Visualization
supervision: dr. A. Eliëns, prof. dr. J.C. van Vliet
collaboration(s): ASZ Research and Development
status: finished
project description
The theme of the subproject concerned the use of
animations and visualisation to display business process
simulation results in a hypermedia context.
During the project the focus shifted towards visualisation,
in particular business visualisation.
Also, explorations were done to investigate interactive
visualisation in 3D.
In Schönhage's thesis several case studies can be found
illustrating the use of visualisation to support
business processes and in particular decision making processes.

project description
We are developing a high-level platform for 3D virtual
environments
based on agent-technology, using the languages DLP, Java, and VRML.
This work is done in the
context of the NWO WASP and RIF projects. Our goal is to study aspects of the deployment and
architecture of virtual environments as an interface to multimedia information systems.
As demonstrators we have developed a distributed soccer-game prototype
with intelligent autonomous avatar-embodied agents as players.
research directions
The intelligent multimedia research theme may
be regarded as continuing the subprojects described before.
In addition it combines research wrt. intelligent agents
and virtual worlds, as defined for respectively the
WASP and RIF projects.
Currently, our efforts are directed towards realizing the technology
needed for developing intelligent multimedia applications.
This technology is intended to be used, among others, for student projects.
In particular, we aim for developing demonstrators in the area
of persuasive technology, and thus explore design methods
and patterns for the realization of emotionally charged virtual worlds.
This work is being done in cooperation with dr. C. Dormann
and dr. Z. Ruttkay from CWI.

The digital dossier(s) resulted from the
Multimedia Casus,
in cooperation with the Instituut Collectie Nederland and the Institute for Time-based Arts.
Digital dossier(s) are explored as a means to capture the information
connected to (a collection of) artworks in an immersive way,
as an alternative to topical (flat) websites or information systems,
by means of a suitable metaphor, such as a virtual musuem, an
artist atelier, or a concept map in 3D space.
In the project, we explored the use of agent technology
as well as technology that is usually applied for the
development of games or 3D infotainment.

project description
Many applications, such as virtual reality theatre, or games in an educations context, require an approach that uses immersion as a way to involve the
user in a more compelling way.
To achieve such a high level of user involvement, we explore the
use of state-of-the-art game technology for developing such applications.
Related research issues encompass, the use of operating system level
multimedia technology (such as DirectX), the architure and extensibility of commercial game engines (such as the Half Life 2 Source SDK), and the use
of communcation facilities to allow multimodal interaction (such as the AMICO toolkit).

onderwijs 07
I have spent a great deal of work to set up
a curriculum multimedia for the Informatiekunde
specialisation Multimedia and Culture.
Since most students of that specialisation will have a more applied
interest, it seemed worthwhile to develop a masters
multimedia for computer science as well.
Currently, end of may 2006, it is investigated what efforts are needed
to develop the master specialisation Multimedia into a master CS
curriculum Multimedia and Game Development.
www.cs.vu.nl/~eliens/edu
As a complement to the institutional quality assessment, I
maintain a collection of student responses
giving evaluation feedback to my courses.
www.cs.vu.nl/~eliens/project
- internal projects in DejaVU Framework
- stages in OO development, CORBA
- stages in Web applications
- projects in (intelligent) multimedia
- game development projects
In total I supervised well over 80 students,
including a number foreign students.
