Abstract
Developing large multimedia systems shows problems similar to those of constructing software systems. But specific for multimedia systems is that non-technical people are much more involved in the development process. This leads to a strong demand for communication between developers with very different backgrounds. In the literature, this problem is usually neglected. We present a new approach Vitruu dealing with this communication problem. A specification language based on natural language and founded with formal models is our proposed communication platform for participants of the development process.
