Pragmatics: Tools for a Multimedia Development Environment

In the preceding four chapters we described the syntax of multidimensional languages to specify the presentation of multimedia applications, and the semantics of the teleaction objects to specify the activities performed by multimedia applications. In this chapter we give an overview to a software engineering environment referred to as the Multimedia IC Development Environment (MICE), and its associated tools. The details of the MICE tools will be presented in Chapter 8.
