Conclusion

The development process of multimedia applications should consider all the phases of the traditional software engineering instead of just restricting to the implementation part.

Good modelling phase for analysis and design are required for error free implementation.

Objcet oriented modelling Language (UML)has become the defacto standard for the traditional software development from the early stages of requirements to detailed design.

Several extensions have been made to this UML to use it for multimedia software applications also.

But these modelling approaches have to show their feasibility in real world applications.

Prototype implementation of support tools extending Rational Rose are required.
