“…While the MPE types introduced in the talks of Fritzsche [15] and Barth [18] seemed to suffer a bit from the "yet another" syndrome, they both advanced the state of the art in MPE specification and configuration support. Fritzsche emphasized formal specification support with custom specification languages and use of ASN.1, Barth made a convincing demonstration of his graphical run-time configuration tool based on the MPE model called CINEMA.…”

Multimedia imposes quite a number of specific issues and requirements on software. While system support for multimedia has been seriously investigated for several years now, the software engineering community has not yet reached a deep understanding of the impacts of multimedia on their field. MMSD'96 brought together a representative spectrum of researchers investigating this issue. Four general observations could be retained from their contributions: 1. distributed multimedia applications exploit both more long-term potentim and more persistent research problems than multimedia PC applications; 2. A reference model of multimedia software is not yet in reach; the large number of models proposed, even at MMSD, still lack better rationales, theoretic foundation, and convergence. 3. the MMSD community brings together people with a "document-background" and those with a "software background"; their views and approaches are still far from being harmonized. 4. While the multimedia community struggles for a common understanding among its members, it is in desperate need of a harmonization with approaches to distributed software development. In the remainder of this article, we will review issues to be addressed in the MMSD context, discuss the contributions made at the workshop itself, and draw conclusions for the state of the art.

Multimedia has become a topic of high interest, and R&D contributions to multimedia fill piles of CD-ROMs, journals and books. Out in the jield, howevel; only a comparatively small set of out-of-the-box niche multimedia applications is used; developing customized multimedia applications, tuned to the needs of a particular organization, remains much of a myth, not to speak of integrated enterprises in which full-size multimedia information and communication is used throughout. The MMSD workshop has been organized as an attempt to help filling the gap between the availability of multimedia solutions and their customized, integrated use in the field. This introductory article positions MMSD in the range of multimedia R&D domains, recalls the categories of contributions relevant to sofhvare development in general ( 'solution space'), describes particular characteristics of multimedia software ('problem space') together with corresponding sample research contributions, and positions the contributions to the workshop in these spaces.
