Temporal representation for multimedia systems

The paper focuses on temporal representation for multimedia systems. On the basis of an interval-based indeterministic synchronization model the authors propose a new generalized synchronization model (GSM), which has fewer, more powerful interval operators. They then outline a description language paradigm as a preferred approach to specify multimedia systems, and present a new Multimedia Synchronization Description Language (MSDL), which is based on the GSM. Additionally, they demonstrate how the MSDL can be used to describe a large number of present and future multimedia systems.
