Abstract

Availability of precise, yet usable modeling languages isessential to the construction of multimedia systems basedon software engineering principles and methods. Althoughseveral languages have been proposed for the specificationof isolated multimedia system aspects, there not yet existsan integrated modeling language that adequately supportsmultimedia software development in practice. We proposean extension of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) forthe integrated specification of multimedia systems based onan object-oriented development method. Since integrationof co-existing timed procedural and interactive behavior isat the heart of multimedia systems, we focus on UML-basedspecification of behavior in this paper. In addition, we outlinehow these behavioral aspects are to be integrated withmedia, presentation, and software architecture modeling toachieve a coherent and consistent model.
