This article presents the outcome of an experimental process with the students of a Landscape Architecture university. We propose a multimedia geotagging system to help landscape architects during the analysis stage of a Landscape Architecture project. Our solution is specifically adapted to landscape architects requirements. Multimedia; geotagging; GIS; landscape visualization; Internet servic...

Interactive multimedia presentations are an essential issue in many advanced multimedia application tools. Before presenting multimedia data, media items, interaction types and synchronization constraints have to be specified in a multimedia document. This paper identifies and classifies the temporal interaction types in multimedia systems, and shows their impact on the specification process an...

Background: Above all methods effective learning results from decent training, acquired in the proper environment and encouraging creative methods. Computer-assisted training by educational software is considered a fundamental measure to improve medical and dentistry education systems. This study aims to design and assess fixed dental prostheses via 2 multimedia instructional contents at the Gu...

Multimedia has become an important teaching technology in higher education inside and outside, with its advantages of super-media, strong expression, and interaction. The application of multimedia teaching connects closely with teaching reform and innovation. In this paper, authors conclude the defects of traditional economics teaching and the advantages of multimedia teaching, and put forward ...

Multimedia cooperative work has several requirements not supported by existing shared systems. A multimedia distributed platform, DIMPLE, suitable for constructing interactive and distributed multimedia applications, was enhanced to support shared multimedia applications. This paper describes these enhancements and presents a typical application of shared synchronized access to an information r...

A multimedia mediator aims at providing a well-structured gateway to some application dependent part of a federated multimedia system. Our specific design employs proxy objects for external multimedia items and introduces a new concept of semi-structured and self-describing types for multimedia items. Query evaluation and optimization hide all details of communication with external sources and ...

Multimedia applications can be seen as sets of autonomous parts, independent yet capable of working together. This assumption allows for the construction of multimedia applications in a “connectionist” fashion. In this paper we describe mechanisms for the visual composition of multimedia applications. These mechanisms allow for quick and flexible application construction by direct manipulation ...
