Abstract

This paper presents the concept of eventline as a visual representation proposal for the temporal behavior of multimedia applications. The main difference of this proposal when compared to the timeline paradigm is the replacement of the temporal continuous axis to a temporal discrete axis based on the occurrence of events. Media synchronization in each eventline is based on the relative time of a main media. User interaction is expressed as the navigation between multiple eventlines. The objective of this work is to provide a simplified alternative for authoring of interactive multimedia applications.
