We investigate the use of communication protocols and coordination languages (henceforth interaction languages) for high-volume consumer electronics products in the multimedia application domain. Interaction languages are used to reduce the cost of designing a product by introducing structure and abstraction, by being application-domain specific, and by enabling re-use. They can also reduce the manufacturing cost which includes the cost of using the interaction language, the implementation cost of the interaction language, and its running cost. We classify services that can be offered by an interaction language and their impact on the cost of designing. Choices that can be made in their implementations are also categorised, and their impact on the manufacturing cost is shown. This is illustrated by three existing interaction languages: c-heap, Arachne, and STM.We conclude first that the type of services offered by an interaction language must match the application domain. Furthermore, implementation choices are constrained by the underlying system architecture as well as the services to be offered. Finally, an interaction language with fewer services minimises the manufacturing cost but increases the cost of designing, and vice versa. The cost of designing and the manufacturing cost both contribute to the cost of the final product, which is to be minimised. These costs must be balanced when designing an interaction language.
