Description
The world is inherently complex and multimedia in nature. The development of computer systems to tackle real-world problems is an extremely difficult task. As computer technologies are becoming multimedia enabled, more powerful and complex computer systems capable of manipulating multimedia information are being developed and will ultimately be brought to the marketplace. To fully comprehend the complexity of such undertakings, proper modeling of multimedia information and systems must be carried out.
A model provides a high-level abstraction of the system upon which the implementation is based. It permits the desirable properties of the system to be extracted and analyzed, and provides a uniform framework for integration between different systems and for interactions between the system and human users.
