Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 資訊及電子工程研究所 === 82 === With the progress in the technologies of electronic, an idea
about multimedia is outlined. Computers are predicted to be
widely accepted, and the extent of their utilizations is larger
and larger in the future. An integrated multimedia system
which is a hot realm of research nowadays provides informations
in different fields such as entertainment, education, and
life. There are lots of systems or prototypes in the current
multimedia authoring systems. More of them only emphasize the
integration of media rather taking this into account carefully
whether the authoring system meets the requirements of system
development from the viewpoint of software design as well as
lacks the mechanism for the construction of intelligent
software. The current authoring systems all provide the
programmer an easy-to-programming environment so that they
could develop a system as quickly as possible. Easy-to-
programming is a good idea for development of general software,
however, it may not meet all the requirements in the
development of complicated software system such as an
intelligent multimedia software. In this thesis, an authoring
system for intelligent multimedia system (IMS) is presented.
It adopts a special organization for multimedia objects and
characterizes the independent features of the system
components, which are advantageous for the separate execution
units to describe the transition of segments of multimedia
objects and the presentation of segments of them. Owing to
significant differences between the architecture of IMS and
that of general authoring system, it becomes very easy to
change the flow control of any program and for the addition of
intelligent reasoning functions. After combining the IMS
system and CAROL3 language into one integrated multimedia
development system, we can take full advantages of the features
mentioned above to development an intelligent multimedia
software.
