Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) is a recommendation developed by the W3C Synchronized Multimedia Working Group. SMIL is a declarative authoring language to specify multimedia synchronized presentation using a time line. We present the design and implementation of a domain specific SMIL Authoring Tool (SAT). The output generate from SAT adheres to the standard as the presentation is specified in a human-readable and machine-friendly XML-tagged file. SAT can be use din conjunction with any SMIL-compliant players. It provides a high-level point-and-click tool, which can create and update the logics of SMIL presentations. It is also designed to provide template-based authoring, which is deemed to be easy-to-create for domain- specific presentations.
