Abstract
A hierarchy of services is needed to support authors and users of multimedia user interfaces. After a short description of this hierarchy, the paper’s focus is on the upper levelsof this hierarchy.
This paper recommends the use of the “direct composition” paradigm in multimedia user interface design environments and the benefits of this paradigm are shown.
Finally SX/Tools, a multimedia user interface management system (UIMS) based on direct composition, is described.
