Abstract:

This paper describes the formal specification of object types for managing inter-media synchronisation and control within PREMO, an emerging ISO/IEC standard for multimedia systems. Object-Z, an object-oriented extension to the Z specification language, is used for this purpose. Some aspects of PREMO are non-trivial to express in Object-Z, and the paper outlines the reasons for choosing this specific language, and sets out recommendations for further research in the use of formal languages in this area. The work reported here has been carried out by members of the ISO/SC24 committee involved in producing the PREMO standard, and has been informed by a number of workshops sponsored by the ERCIM Computer Graphics Network. 1
