✦ Synopsis

In the past, a number of approaches have been proposed for the modeling and implementation of hypermedia and multimedia systems. However, automatic implementation is still lacking with regard to setting up various hypervideo systems. This paper proposes a hypervideo system generator for automatic implementation of various hypervideo systems. The proposed system is established by using a Generalized HyperVideo System (GHVS) model. A HyperVideo Linking Generator (HVLG) is introduced to on-line authoring of a GHVS program for specifying a hypervideo system. A HyperVideo Browser System (HVBS) has been developed for navigating various hypervideo systems. The proposed hypervideo generator has been established on Windows 3.1 and Windows 95, in which several other educational hypervideo applications have been successfully developed. Moreover, with the help of this prototype, the development time to build such hypervideo applications is considerably reduced when compared with the development of the same application using existing programming languages.
