Title:
A Framework for Low Level Analysis and Synthesis to Support High Level
Authoring of Multimedia Documents

Abstract:
This paper describes a low level hierarchical framework for composition
of multimedia documents that is designed to support the types of
analysis, error checking, and synthesis techniques needed for rich user
support in a high-level authoring system. This framework supports
flexible synchronization and flow control primitives as well as a range
of interactive, continuous, and discrete media in a uniform fashion. The
compositional approach taken in this work supports a style of analysis
similar to the semantic analysis performed in programming language
translation. This analysis capability provides a robust base upon which
a number of potential high-level authoring facilities can be built.
