Welcome Message

Dear Guest,
Welcome to the Laboratory of Distributed Multimedia Information Systems and Applications (TUC/MUSIC).
The TUC/MUSIC Laboratory was established in 1990 in the Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering of the Technical University of Crete which is located in Chania, Crete, Greece. The TUC/MUSIC Laboratory is a center of research, development and teaching in the areas of distributed information systems, application engineering, computer graphics, and simulation engineering.
In the general area of systems development, the TUC/MUSIC Laboratory has performed research in the areas of high performance distributed multimedia architectures, information systems offering advanced functionalities, data base systems, information retrieval systems, digital libraries, service oriented architectures, and graphics systems.
In the area of application engineering, the TUC/MUSIC Laboratory has performed research in the topics of large distributed multimedia delivery networks for intelligent TV applications, semantic interoperability infrastructures, web and mobile based application development methodologies, natural language processing, as well as standard-based software infrastructures for multimedia applications in areas such as e-learning, culture and tourism, business applications, TV Applications and medicine.
In the area of simulation engineering, the TUC/MUSIC Laboratory is conducting research in the areas of real-time perceptually-based selective rendering algorithms, fidelity metrics for immersive simulations, uncertainty modeling and visualization and human factors engineering. The TUC/MUSIC Lab has participated in over 40 EU projects and Excellence Networks as Partner, Coordinator and Technical Leader.
We hope that you find the information in this site useful. We are in your disposal for any additional information that you may want.

Sincerely,
Stavros Christodoulakis
