Abstract

In this paper we present the design and implementation of a client-server system for Interactive Multimedia Documents (IMDs). IMDs are based on a well-founded theoretical model that covers the issues of interaction and spatiotemporal synchronization of multimedia objects that are presented according to an IMD scenario. The scenaria reside on a server, while the media objects are distributed over the Internet. The client retrieves a scenario from the server, requests the appropriate media from the corresponding http servers and subsequently resents the scenario according to the specifications it defines. In this respect the client uses events (simple and complex) to track the state of each media object and manipulate it. The whole framework has been implemented in Java using the RMI (Remote Method Invocation) client server communication protocol and the JMF (Java Media Framework) for handling multimedia objects. The system presents a promising approach for distributed interactive multimedia on the Internet and intranets.
