Social Multimedia Computing

When I am a college student, major in software engineering, I think Social  Multimedia Computing is just calculate the data. After the lecture, I found that there are several views of that, the most wiedly accepted are social computing over multimedia and social-empowered multimedia computing. I want to know furture is that concerned with social multimedia search, how we do that job efficient and the basic algorithm about that. I refer  to the Internet and find some relanted books in library to revisit the topic in classes. I found that the most efficient way to find some information is refer to the comments form the Internet, though some of them are not correct.

About the topic of social multimedia computing, refre to one article form website says that "The explosive growth of social multimedia content on the Internet is revolutionizing content distribution and social interaction. It has even led to a new research area, called social multimedia computing. " Form that we can find that the topic is revelent to hugh content about the social multimdia. To fullfill the better preformance about that, we have social multimedia computing.

From my point of view, we should also see that topic form the two ways which we just say above.
The first is "scoial computing over multimedia" which is the one centers on social sciences which focus on using technology and tools to do several enhancements: 1. more powerful social interaction. 2. harveset large-scale digital traces.  3. develop methodolgoies for lage-scale validations of social science theories. 4. study user behavior and social dynamics in multimedia social networks. From the above 4 topics, we can find that the aim is the same as the defintion I found from the website. So, I think that the one part of social multimedia computing is aimed at better calcualtion ability. Let's put this apart for a while, and pay attention to the second view about it, "Social-empowered multimedia computing" which applys knowledge form social studies to design and improve multimedia application and incorporates and exploits social constraints and contextual information to infer the semantics of multimedia content. The second view implys that to have better social multimedia search, we should first do a better job about social multimedia computing.

What I want to konw furture is that according to the social multimedia computing, what we can do to social multimedia search better? The algorithm, data structure and some revelent topics. The picture shows that we have a more and more close over publish, broadcast and compute and I think that computing might be the fisrt thing for us to anlaysis in the future. We have moore law that we can see a bright future about that and we should pay more attention to that for us to do better job about other things. We should combine different parts together to meet the furture challenges.

MSDN

When it comes to social networking, first comes to our mind, out of question, facebook. So before attending this class, I treat facebook equally to social networking. After the first three lectures, I found that I should change my mind that social networking is a huge word and it contains so many things that they are full of our daily life.I learned a lot from the lecture and I just mention some important points below: Firstly, I know the difference between social media, social computing and social networking. Secondly, there are several social experience models. Last but not least, the different levels of cognition.

What I want to know is how social networking will be in future? Will facebook dominating in this area, or several models live together, or some models may disappear?With the above questions, I search the Internet and read some papers also some media from YouTube. Also with this way, I revision about the notions in the lecture better.

For me, graduated form software engineering, as a programmer, exploring MSDN become my daily job. So I want to talk more about MSDN, the community model of several social experience models.Before attending the class, I just treat MSDN as Online help files and technical literature collection , but I finally found that MSDN have more than that two. It also provides  online electronics tutorial, Microsoft Product Downloads, Blog, BBS, MSDN WebCasts,with CMP, MSDN Magazine and so a range of services.Then I went to wikipedia and other websites for further information. The result is that, I just used small part of the MSDN. It is an information service of the Microsoft-oriented software development. We should pay attention that the MSDN is focus on developer. So this is the most outstanding difference between MSND and other models. MSDN focus on developer. So we may have a much smaller user than facebook. It is meaningless to discuss the user number between two. We should pay more attention to that the MSDN has its special area. There is no need to seek large user number, the only thing we need to do is do more professional in this area.

With the supporting of Microsoft, I think MSDN will never worry about money, the only thing to do is do better in its own way. One problem we found that there is no competitor with MSDN, or says in another way, without any outside pressure may lead to a bad circumstance. So I think MSDN can do following changes to fit the future challenge.Firstly, develop some new areas for people who do not have the relevant background. Secondly, collecting videos from universities to share. Last but not least, inviting some developer in microsoft to give speech on-line to share their experience.
