Abstract

With continuous acceptance of World Wide Web (WWW) as a de facto standard for human-computer interaction and human-human communication, it is desirable to develop net-centric, multimedia and collaborative applications. We present a new scripting language, JACIE, designed to support rapid prototyping and implementation of such applications. The necessity to support the management of multimedia interaction and communication in collaborative applications is highlighted. JACIE facilitates such support through the concepts of channels and a collection of interaction protocols. JACIE also features a template-basedprogramming style, a single program for both client and erver, and platjtirm-independence by using Java as the target language. All these features characterise a desirable multimedia sofiware engineering tool.
