A. Origin
Multimedia system and intelligent computing is a challenging research area owing to its
diverse involving areas such computer information, communication, physics, math and
engineering. In recent years, the base technology of information and communication
engineering has been getting more and more mature. However, in response to technology
development of the next generation, diverse multimedia content, intelligent application
and service, and interdisciplinary integration should be the target in this age. As the
consequence, future development in information area will rely on software and hardware
technology of multimedia system and intelligent computing which connects people
worldwide through terminal devices and the internet.
Information industry nowadays has become one of the most valuable and promising
parts in our nation. Information and communication technology serves as a powerful tool
when it comes to multimedia data processing, data mining and intelligent computing.
Thousands of beneficial applications such as mobile computing that allowing quick access
to useful information, cloud computing which accelerates process of multimedia and
provide diverse multimedia services. In medical area, EMR (Electronic Medical Record)
and telecare are capable of improving medical quality and reduce cost with the help
from multimedia system and intelligent computing; moreover, it can assist clinical trials
and medical education in variety of ways. Therefore, utilizing multimedia system and
intelligent computing to provide diversity of intelligent applications is the main topic of this
educational program.
B. Goal of Establishment
This academic program is based on the integration of cross college which
becoming a strong teaching and research team on multimedia system and intelligent
computing. We combine the basic research achievement of Institute of Information
Science, Academia Sinica and Research Center for Information Technology Innovation,
and enhance the cooperation of teaching and research with Southern Taiwan Science
Park professional technical team. According above, we improve the quality of teaching
and research about our multimedia system and intelligent computing to accomplish
the educational goal of this academic program, making our school as an international
multimedia and intelligent computing research center.
C. Developing Directions
In the past few year, the overall performance of computer hardware have been sufficient
to solve all kinds of complicated calculations. However, in order that users can more easily
operate computer to enhance intelligent computing technology is an important trend.
Intelligent computing generally refers to a computer system to allow more intelligent,
more humane and more quickly process information. Through the implementation of this
program, Taiwan will be able to use the new cloud technology to create intelligent life lead
to take the big step the road towards technological power. In multimedia systems, since
human increasing strongly need of the multimedia through mature intelligent computing,
multimedia systems will be able to provide users with a richer and diversified services. For
example, in the mobile multimedia applications can provide users use smartphones easily
access the needed information, such as provide e-books, audio-visual and entertainment
services. In the application of medical information systems, analyzing the processing of
massive data required a lot of computing resources. Thus, it will play an important role in
multimedia systems and intelligent computing technology.
In response to this trend, the
Program will integrate National Cheng Kung University and Academia Sinica's top research
faculty in multimedia systems and intelligent computing related fields is actively working
towards the development of two key planning the following degree programs:
Multimedia Systems:
Research multimedia processing on the basis and theory related technologies, and train
students to integrate the technologies to build capacity of multimedia systems. On
applied research, in cooperation with the National Cheng Kung University Medical College
developing telemedicine and other multimedia systems.
Intelligent computing:
Research intelligent computing on the basis and theory related technologies, and the
ability to train students in the application of intelligent cloud computing.
For these two on
intelligent computing and multimedia systems development priorities, the Program will
focus on the development of the following technologies:
- Multimedia processing technology
- Build multimedia content diversity and pluralism, the retrieval and mining
- Multimedia mobile communications
- Smart cloud computing technology
We recruit professors from related colleges and departments and research chews from
Academia Sinica and Research Center who are expertized in mobile multimedia, cloud
computing, data mining, embedded system and medical Informatics. This educational
program provides not only advanced interdisciplinary courses but also academic
interchange to excel at each research area.
D. Principles and characteristics
The students are learning through the process of nurturing among teachers from
different backgrounds and campus-wide school, interdisciplinary research team composed
of common interdisciplinary research capabilities in training doctoral students.
Not only emphasizes interdisciplinary learning in the course part, but also stressed the
need for graduate student with campus-wide and co-advised school teachers. Students
can study at the Academia Sinica and the National Cheng Kung University for learning and
research. So, student can contacts diverse research partners and environment to combine
different research areas thinking and technology.
E. Educational goal
Cultivation talents with both theory and practice, who is creative and has the
international concept in multimedia systems and intelligent computing field.
F. Core competencies
- Educate students with multimedia systems and interdisciplinary expertise of intelligent computing and the capability for lifelong learning.
- Education students for having the ability to independently research, design and innovation.
- Educate students for quality teamwork and the capability of international concept.
