A Behavioral Requirements Specification Approach for Interactive Multimedia Applications

Abstract

This paper presents a behavioral approach to specifying interactive multimedia applications. This requirements specification approach allows one to model sequence, parallelism, branching and iteration. Transitions due to events are subdivided into automatic, user and clock The transitions due to tasks to be done are subdivided into animate, image, sound, text and video, which are the elements of a multimedia application. The approach is relatively simple and easy to understand. A toolkit to support specification of requirements has also been developed. Future work includes the possibility of code generation translated from the text file containing information on graphical representation.
