Motivation
Continuing evolution of complex multimedia applications
and their prominence in almost any application domain.
The truncation of the development process of multimedia application to an
implemantation and test method using multimedia authoring systems or frameworks
or libraries complementing programming languages.
No preceding modelling phases for requirements definition, analysis
or design.
Lack of sophisticated process models and
usable graphical
notations to enable the an integrated specifiaction of the system on different
levels of abstraction and from diffrent perspectives.
The importance of object
orientation in development multimedia systems stated by several research
contributions and
many intrinsic properties proven by object paradigm to support software product and development process
quality-like encapsulation, modularity, extensibility, adaptability and poratbility, integrated specification of structure and behavior etc.
