Abstract

The interactive multimedia application has become more popular and the development of this kind of application requires a new type of cooperative work that involves experts from many different areas. For example, domain experts, user interface developers, media production experts, and software engineers could be a few of them. Many traditional design approaches and development/authoring tools, however, lack of a systematic approach to supporting this heterogeneous application nature that requires creating complex application logic with rich graphical and interactive user interface design elements. In this paper, we propose a framework-based approach that supports the separation of the crosscutting concern of application logic from its graphics design elements. One benefit from this separation in our framework, compared to other approaches using existing authoring tools, is to reduce the implementation effort and to improve its future extensibility. We have verified our approach by using our framework for extending a Flash-based multimedia application, called Energy City, through a joint project with an actual museum customer.
