An environment for simulation-based analysis, design, and product development is presented in this article. Specifically, we integrate the analytical target cascading (ATC) methodology for optimal design with the Active Mediator Object System (AMOS) II information management tool to represent and exchange engineering data in distributed and heterogeneous environments. The ATC process is applied...

In this paper, we present the tools specified by the MDS part of the MPEG-7 standard for describing multimedia data such as images and video. In particular, we focus on the description tools that represent the structure and semantics of multimedia data to whose development we have actively contributed. We also describe some of our research prototype systems dealing with the extraction and appli...
