Multimedia as part of the HELIOS SEE
Abstract
This paper discusses the approach taken in HELIOS towards defining a distributed multimedia component as part of the HELIOS Software Engineering Environment (SEE). A user requirements study, performed at the beginning of this project, led to a functional distinction between permanent kernel components and optional service components. The multimedia components cover audio and video capture, replay and synchronization. Medical imaging is considered as a separate service, developed by the German partner of the HELIOS consortium.
