Abstract: The new media types used in advance user interfaces and interactive systems introduce time as a significant variable. This paper addresses the architectural support and programming tools that should be provided to the programmer to manage the time dependencies. The approach considers that the basic models and programming paradigms adopted in the manipulation and management of time should be isomorphic with the spatial models used in existing graphical user interfaces.The paper describes the architectural principles of a toolkit designed to support the construction of user interfaces with temporal characteristics. The Ttoolkit is an extension of an existing graphical user interface toolkit, the Xt toolkit. Its design is presented and a sample application is described.

An Object Model for Multimedia Programming.
TL;DR: The MADE object model represents a novel approach to multimedia application programming that is founded on the two principal concepts of active objects and delegation and represents a substantial enhancement to more traditional approaches to programming in this area.
Coordinating heterogeneous time-based media between independent applications
Scott Flinn

TL;DR: The scheduler design creates a framework within which existing synchronization techniques are composed to coordinate the presentation activities of cooperating or independent application programs, and guarantees long term synchronization with a hardware clock, even when scheduler capacity is temporarily exceeded on platforms lacking real time system support.
