This multimedia case study would not have been possible without the support of my academic advisor, professor Alice Agogino and the corporation with four industry
companies represented in this courseware. I would like to thank the Clorox Corporation, the DuPon
t Corporation, Invar Manufacturing Company, and the Northern Telecom Corporation for their time,
effort, and involvement in this project. I would also like to thank all the company representat
ives who participated in this project for sharing their industrial views and giving insight into
their functional roles.
This courseware was developed upon the foundation of a previous Master project titled "People,
Products, and Process (II)" by Robert Stanard. Based upon his extensive work on raw materails editing like text, pictures and video/audio clips, I then could focus on user interface design and navigational strategy
selection. Therefore, I would like to thank York University of North
York, Ontario for their initial sponsorship of the first "People, Products, and Process" case study
under the direction of Professor David Johnston. Also, I wish to express my gratitude to Robert Stanard for his raw materials. Most important, I would like to thank Synthesis Coalition for providing their gracious financial support for this project.
I would like to extend my thanks to Berkeley Expert Systems Technology Laboratory for providing the computer and video reso
urces necessary to put this courseware together. Special thanks go to Youhao Jing for his valuable advice and outstanding knowledge of web developing technologies. Thanks to Anlei Lee for all the modem testing.
Last but most definitely not least, I want to thank my wife, Xiaoying Zhang, for continuously giving me her loving support and endless inspiration.
