Reuse of SMI 2.0 scripts in dividable dynamic timeline-based authoring

The dividable dynamic timeline (DDTL) was proposed in our previous work to address the non-deterministic temporal behavior in SMIL2.0 scripts. This paper presents the mechanisms for the reuse of SMIL2.0 scripts in authoring a new presentation. To reuse a SMIL2.0 script, the script must be converted to elements in DDTL. By the reuse of existing SMIL2.0 scripts and the flexible features of DDTL, an efficient and friendly authoring environment for SMIL2.0-based interactive multimedia presentations can be provided
