“…The main interest of the MMSA meta-model (Derdour et al, 2010) is to express the architectural multimedia concepts that are not explicitly defined in UML 2.0. In other words, the use of stereotypes, constraints and marked values allowing better specifying and better capturing the concepts of MMSA meta-model (multimedia interface, multimedia component, multimedia connector, adaptation glue, etc.…”

“…After you define a meta-model MMSA in (Derdour et al, 2010) for multimedia applications, that offering an architectural description of components, and that is capable of detecting the heterogeneity (non-interoperability) between component of architecture and propose adaptation connectors ensuring such interoperability. We need a language that allows a formal specification of architectural concepts and a tool for verification and validation of software architectures.…”

“…The objective of this UML profile is to provide a rich and complete documentation and to produce a non-ambiguous semantics of the multimedia concepts allowing developers to express the elements of MMSA (Derdour et al, 2010) taking into consideration the heterogeneity generated by manipulating of several media types (image, sound, video, text). We define here a set of stereotypes to describe a complete and formal specification of multimedia software architectures.…”

Multimedia technology is increasingly being used to create reliable and effective communication environments. However, the design of multimedia applications is currently driven more by intuition than by empirically or theoretically derived design guidelines. In a multimedia application, the software architecture is defined as a set of components manipulating various multimedia data types with specific constraints that we must take into consideration at the architectural design. For instance, the problem of heterogeneity related to the exchanged of multimedia data flows. In the absence of prescriptive architectural design principles, MMSA (Meta-model Multimedia Software Architecture) enables the description of software architectures expressing a multimedia software system as a collection of components which handle various types and formats of multimedia data, and interacts between them via adaptation connectors. This paper proposes a modeling of architectural elements such as: multimedia, application components, communication, etc. and an UML profile for verification and validation of MMSA architectures and detection of heterogeneities between components communicating with multimedia flows.
