This thesis presents a survey of multimedia application development and a case study of an implementation of a multimedia application. The steps of multimedia application development are described including the planning of the application development, content acquisition and storage, arid content delivery. The survey would be useful for multimedia developers and interactive media designers interested in gaining a broad knowledge of multimedia application design. The case study presented is of a networked multimedia playback application and it illustrates the application development steps in the context of the application. The goals of the project were to provide synchronized video playback over a network while leveraging existing technology in order to support extensibility, portability, and interoperability.
