✦ Synopsis

This paper presents TAO: a language based on Temporal Algebraic Operators for composing complex multimedia presentations. Unlike traditional approaches used to specify multimedia presentations, TAO relies on a well-de®ned semantics with an underlying temporal model based on intervals and causal relations between time points. We derive some properties of TAO presentations and show how to execute TAO presentations on an execution engine: a TAO presentation is compiled into a set of instructions interpreted by the execution engine.

We generalize the definition of the operators corresponding to particle addition in the abelian sandpile models to include a phase factor e ~', where n is the number of topplings in the avalanche, and • is a real parameter. The new operators so defined are still abelian, and their derivatives with r
