A visual editor for multimedia application development

Multimedia applications are becoming increasingly important in areas such as education (digital libraries, training, presentation, distance learning), health care (telemedicine, health information management, medical image systems), entertainment (video-on-demand, music databases, interactive TV), information dissemination (news-on-demand, advertising, TV broadcasting), and manufacturing (distributed manufacturing, distributed collaborative authoring). In this paper we introduce a visual software engineering tool which is part of a suite of tools called MICE used for the rapid prototyping of distributed multimedia applications.
