Abstract

The Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) is an XML based language for the synchronization of multimedial content. SMIL can be used to show all kinds of presentations on stationary and mobile devices. For the latter, a subset called SMIL mobile profile is standardized. SMIL has already started to influence certain mobile applications. Worth mentioning are electronic learning and mobile marketing, who both profit from utilizing SMIL presentations. This paper gives an introduction to SMIL. The different modules that establish a SMIL presentation are presented. Afterwards, mobile application scenarios that benefit from the usage of SMIL are shown, including e-learning, mobile communication and mobile marketing.
