A large hypermedia application has been developed to demonstrate the concept of factory wide hypermedia to support the maintenance of a major process line. As part of its development cycle, the performance of the software and its acceptance by the user community has been fully evaluated. The evaluation method considered in this paper focuses on the subjective opinion of the users and measured the ease with which users could retrieve the information required to perform specific tasks, and is considered suitable for other large industrial hypermedia applications. This research draws together standard evaluation techniques into a methodology for evaluating an industrial strength hypermedia application. The trials undertaken showed that the users were able to find the identical information in approximately one-third of the time when using the hypermedia system, over a paper-based system, which equate to a significant cost savings during unscheduled maintenance periods. #

In this paper, we describe an approach to audiovisual data modeling for multimedia integration and synchronization. The approach chosen consists in using description tools from Multimedia Description Schemes of standard MPEG-7 to describe audiovisual contents and in integrating these description models into a multimedia integration and synchronization model close to SMIL. The resulting model provides relevant specification tools for the fine integration of multimedia fragments into multimedia presentations. An authoring environment illustrates the authoring features that can be obtained thanks to these integrated models.

“…The amount of information required to operate and maintain any complex manufacturing system is considerable, and due to the high costs of down time and maintenance in the event of a system failure, accurate retrieval of the required information is considered timecritical (Hsu et al 1999). Across the manufacturin g sector, information resources can range from a few hundred pages for a medium-sized industrial machine tool to thousands of manuals for a manufacturing plant.…”

As industrial systems become increasingly more complex, the maintenance and operating information increases both in volume and complexity. With the current pressures on manufacturing , the management of information resources has become a critical issue. In particular, ensuring that personnel can access current information quickly and e ectively when undertaking a speci®c task. This paper discusses some of the issues involved in, and the bene®ts of using, open hypermedia to manage and deliver a diverse range of information. While the paper concentrates on the problems speci®cally associated with manufacturin g organizations , the problems are generic across other business sectors, such as healthcare, defence and ®nance. The open hypermedia approach to information management and delivery allows a multimedia resource base to be used for a range of applications and it permits a user to have controlled access to the required information in an easily accessible and structured manner. Recent advancement in hypermedia also permits just-in-time support in the most appropriate format for all users. Our approach is illustrated by the discussion of a case study in which an open hypermedia system delivers maintenance and process information to factory-¯oor users to support the maintenance and operation of a very large manufacturin g cell.
