Abstract
This chapter describes techniques which have been developed to assist with the authoring and run-time management of applications which involve the interactive presentation of multimedia data items. By interactive presentation we mean the the ability to support the following activities:
-
Access, processing, analysis, synchronization, display or storage of multiple media types.
-
Interaction with the media. Human interaction with the media should not just be limited to single users; a further requirement is the ability to support multi-user collaboration via views of media items. We must also take into account interaction from the environment, e.g. requests to adjust media resource usage.
