✦ Synopsis

This article describes the design of a prototype multiau-work, in the hope that some of them may prove useful thor multimedia document production (MAMMDP) systo others concerned with MAMMDP. We believe that tem. In particular, the article concentrates on how the both the processes and the products of our analysis and system's tasks were analyzed and represented during design work can be informative about the development the early stages of the design. The aim of the article is of MAMMDP systems. to relate our ideas and experiences from the analysis and design work, in the hope that some of them may The remainder of Section 1 presents the context of the prove useful to others concerned with MAMMDP. We work, with some details of the prototype development believe that both the processes and the products of our undertaken. Section 2 briefly discusses the problems of analysis and design work can be informative about the finding an appropriate task analysis technique, and introdevelopment of MAMMDP systems.
