We have designed and implemented a system for creating, editing, and displaying
hypermedia dOc-uments. This system uses an improved document model with two major …

Multimedia applications require the handling of synchronization between media streams.
We present tools for creating, editing and presenting synchronized multimedia objects …

Synchronization of multiple media is a major issue in multimedia applications; in distributed
systems, this problem is aggravated further. We present tools for the creation, editing, and …

We argue that object-oriented programming is only half of the story. Flexible, configurable
applications can be viewed as collections of reusable objects conforming to standard …

The design of complex multimedia documents presents new challenges to authoring
systems, because spatial and temporal features should be visualized and made accessible …

This PhD project was proposed in the context of the Philips concept of Ambient Intelligence
(AmI). This concept was introduced by Philips Research as a new paradigm in how people …

Composition and synchronisation are discussed within an object-oriented framework for
programming multimedia applications. The framework is based on a conceptual model of …

Temporal relationships are a characteristic feature of multimedia objects. Continuous media
objects such as video and audio have strict synchronous timing requirements. Composite …

Multimedia systems allow the integration of data streams of different types, including
continuous media (audio and video) and discrete media (text, data, still images). The …

Today's computer users are becoming increasingly sophisticated, demanding richer and
fuller machine interfaces. This is evidenced by the fact that viewing and manipulating a …
