Multimedia workstations will not find acceptance unless presented with attractive and easy-touse applications which maintain a consistent user-interface. Since creating 'nice' applications is quite demanding and their lifetime in the rapidly evolving area of communications pretty short, a framework on which to base might be of some use: This paper reports on the architecture and implementation of an object oriented framework with special emphasis on multimedia communication, We introduce Device and Channel objects to control media-streams and to provide their signalling. Additionally we define a Service object as a base for multimedia communication between applications and we extend the existing view concept by new standard MediaViews to present and control audio and video streams.

Multimedia communications is the field referring to the representation, storage, retrieval and dissemination of machine‐processable information expressed in multiple media, such as text, voice, graphics, image, audio and video. With the advent of high capacity storage devices powerful and yet economical computer workstations and high‐speed integrated services digital networks providing a variety of multimedia communications services are becoming not only technically but also economically feasible. Applications in medicine, education, travel, real‐estate, banking, insurance, administration and publishing and advertising are emerging at a fast pace. These applications are characterized by large multimedia documents that have to be communicated within very short delays. Computer‐controlled cooperative work, whereby a group of users can jointly view, create, edit and discuss multimedia documents is going to be characteristic of many transactions in the year 2000. In this paper, we review the activity in Multimedia Communications, Services and Applications.
