Abstract

With the shift of networked software applications away from the desktop computers and into home appliances comes the challenge of finding new ways to model this type of software. The most important home appliance that has new found computing capabilities is the television set. Through television people can now be participants instead of viewers, and use interactive software to enter the participative stage. Staged participatory multimedia events are a subset of this kind of interactive software that have a predefined temporal structure that lets television viewers and mobile users become participants in a distributed multimedia event. In this paper, we introduce an interaction model that is part of modelling language for staged participatory multimedia events. We show how the language can be mapped on UML constructs and shortly discuss related work using a common example.
