Abstract

Multimedia applications of tomorrow face new challenges. As we move towards ubiquitous computing systems, users will require that the multimedia applications adopt to behave well in this new setting. This will require that developers of such applications are equipped with new development tools and abstractions to help construct these new applications. In this paper we investigate techniques to better support dynamical construction of multimedia bindings. Two alternatives are considered. The first lets the application choose the bindings it requires at run-time, from a pool of existing bindings. The second approach aims at helping the application dynamically construct the required binding. An evaluation of each of the approaches is given.
