Enabling adaptive time-based web applications with SMIL state
Proceeding of the eighth ACM symposium on Document engineering, page 18--27. Sao Paulo, Brazil, ACM, (2008)DOI: 10.1145/1410140.1410146
Abstract
In this paper we examine adaptive time-based web applications (or presentations). These are interactive presentations where time dictates the major structure, and that require interactivity and other dynamic adaptation. We investigate the current technologies available to create such presentations and their shortcomings, and suggest a mechanism for addressing these shortcomings. This mechanism, SMIL State, can be used to add user-defined state to declarative time-based languages such as SMIL or SVG animation, thereby enabling the author to create control flows that are difficult to realize within the temporal containment model of the host languages. In addition, SMIL State can be used as a bridging mechanism between languages, enabling easy integration of external components into the web application.
