Abstract
This work presents MUSE, a graphical environment for modeling interactive networked multimedia applications. Through an advanced graphic interface and a new highlevel authoring model, it is possible to create complex systems in a fast and intuitive way. The authoring model proposed in this work and adopted by the environment deals with media objects distributed in a computer network, allowing the definition of acceptable presentation delay thresholds and alternative media objects. Due to the large expressiveness of the model, however, specifications with logical and temporal inconsistencies may be generated. For this reason, the tool also provides E-LOTOS specifications, which may be used to analyze and verify the temporal requirements defined by the author.
