UML-based Behavior Specification of Interactive Multimedia Applications

چکیده
Availability of precise, yet usable modeling languages is essential to the construction of multimedia systems based on software engineering principles and methods. Although several languages have been proposed for the specification of isolated multimedia system aspects, there not yet exists an integrated modeling language that adequately supports multimedia software development in practice. We propose an extension of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for the integrated specification of multimedia systems based on an object-oriented development method. Since integration of co-existing timed procedural and interactive behavior is at the heart of multimedia systems, we focus on UML-based specification of behavior in this paper. In addition, we outline how these behavioral aspects are to be integrated with media, presentation, and software architecture modeling to achieve a coherent and consistent model.

The field of multimedia software engineering is still in an inmature state. Significant research and development has been dedicated towards multimedia services and systems technology such as networking or database systems. Multimedia document formats have been standardized. But when it comes to multimedia application development, the development process is truncated to an implement-and-test met...
متن کاملOMMMA: An Object-Oriented Approach for Modeling Multimedia Information Systems
We present an object-oriented approach based on the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for modeling structure and dynamic behavior of a multimedia information system. We extend the Model-View-Controller paradigm for interactive systems towards multimedia and show that aspects of the graphical user interface and time-dynamic behavior ought to be integral parts of a model. This is done in the intent...
متن کاملBuilding a UML Profile for MultiTEL
A UML profile for a system or an application is a standard means for expressing the semantics of this system or application using a set of predefined extensions to UML. UML profiles allow all stakeholders of a system to share a common graphical notation and vocabulary, and permit more precise specifications and better documentation on how to use and customize systems. In this paper we present a...
متن کاملTowards Dynamic Meta Modeling of UML Extensions: An Extensible Semantics for UML Sequence Diagrams
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) still lacks a formal and commonly agreed specification of its semantics that also accounts for UML’s built-in semantic variation points and extension mechanisms. The semantics specification of such extensions must be formally integrated and consistent with the standard UML semantics without changing the latter. Feasible semantics approaches must thus allow ad...
