It is a hard task to produce animation involving human-like gur es due to behavior planning and choreographing movements with many degrees of freedom. In this paper, we explore the use of nite automata with output as a framework to specify the motion of articulated gur es at the joints level. This approach permits us to assign each graphical transformation

This paper presents a platform for control of learning objects based on hand interaction on anatomic manikin used in anatomy courses in the health field. This platform, integrated presentation software, projects images of anatomical structures on the manikin body and provides an interaction that organizes educational space around the object of the class study. The professors and students of the Nursing Technical course at IFPR (Londrina Campus) are the target audience of this work.

ABSTRACT The Sound Object Library is being designed to be employed by programmers and composers to develop sound manipulation applications. Its classes encapsulate all the processes involved in sound creation, manipulation and storage. The library can be used as a framework or, alternatively, as a set of objects to be patched together in a program. It is being developed to be portable across the UNIX and Windows platforms. The library class hierarchy is founded on three base classes, corresponding to sound processing objects, maths function-tables and sound input/output objects. A number of classes have already been implemented. A programming example shows one of the possible applications of the library objects. A GUI interface for the objects is proposed, using the V C++ framework.

This article presents a model based on timed automata for specifying graphic animation. The proposed model, AGA-S, organizes the content of animation from timed automata. These timed automata describe the behaviour of scenic elements in animation time. Utilization of timed automata provides formal specification for dinamic behaviour of scenic elements and synchronizing mechanisms.

In the last few years, the internet use is growing and web pages are being populated by multimedia objects. At the same time, traffic over the internet is growing and, conseque ntly, the importance of data compression. This paper presents formal definitions of "compression algorithm", "better compressi on algo- rithm", "best compression algorithm", "animation", "better ani- mation" and a methodology
