We will review the basis of the broad area of multimedia networking in the format of lectures. Meanwhile, several Android programming tutorials will be offered to student who do not have such experience. Each student works on a term project: graduate students choose their own research topics, and undergraduate students work on an Android app design and implementation. All students will be trained for technical writing, for workshop papers (graduates) and demo papers (undergraduates). Industrial entrepreneurs will be invited to give talks in class, sharing their startup experience.

The lectures will be given in English. All the assignments and technical reports must be in English.
