Tiled polymorphic temporal media
Paul Hudak, David Janin · 2014
Tiled Polymorphic Temporal Media (tiled PTM) is an algebraic approach to specifying the composition of multimedia values having an inherent temporal quality -- for example sound clips, musical scores, computer animations, and video clips. Mathematically, one can think of a tiled PTM as a tiling in the one dimension of time. A tiled PTM value has two synchronization marks that specify, via an effective notion of tiled product, how the tiled PTM values are positioned in time relative to one another, possibly with overlaps.
