Abstract
A method and system for modeling interactive animation and other integrated media includes support for a declarative modeling language and a system for presenting media represented in a declarative language model. The modeling language enables authors to represent natural or modeled media in a compact model, and it allows for the explicit description of time varying behavior as well as reactive behavior, which occurs in response to discrete events. The system compiles or interprets the model, optimizes it, and controls the presentation of media represented in it.
