Towards Model-Driven Development of Staged Participatory Multimedia Events

Abstract

The industry nowadays is showing an increasing interest towards an extended interactive television experience, called participation television. This increasing interactivity brings the creation of such television events closer to the creation of regular software as we know it for personal computers and mobile devices. In this paper we report on our work in model-driven development of one kind of such interactive television shows, staged participatory multimedia events. More specifically, this work reports on the domain-specific language we created to model these events and the generation of abstract prototypes. These interactive prototypes are built using web-languages and can be used to perform early evaluation.
