Abstract

With increases in the complexity and dynamics of multimedia information communicated by current applications, there arises a corresponding need towards a standard technology for intelligent multimedia interfaces. In this article, we address those components of an intelligent multimedia presentation system (IMMPS) which deal with the design and the realization of spatial layout. We treat multimedia layout as a multidimensional constraint problem and propose a reference architecture for a general-purpose intelligent multimedia layout manager (IMMLM) that is based on a dedicated constraint solver kernel.
