Multimedia is not a dream anymore. Nowadays we use images (e.g., GIF, JPEG, and BMP), videos (e.g., MPEG, AVI, and QuickTime), and sounds (e.g., MIDI and WAV) as well as alphanumerical information even on a personal computer. People whose research topics relate to computer network, operating system, real-time computing, user interface/HCI, or consumer products have been very active in developing multimedia tools/systems/products, including high speed network, ATM, video servers, streaming video, push technology, computer games, CD-ROM titles, and so on. But how about software engineers? It seems that they are not interested in multimedia. Why? Is software engineering independent from multimedia? I should say no. In this paper, we present a personal view about this point and related topics which includes multimedia software engineering.
