Interoperability explains how two or more systems or components exchange and process information. The heterogeneity\r\ncommunication mechanisms of the components (GPRS, WIFI, Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc.), transmission speed, as well as the variety\r\nof the media (sound, video, text, and image) they manage have a strong influence on the interoperability. That requires the\r\nmanagement of the adaptation to an abstract level in order to avoid ad hoc nonreusable, and/or generalizable solutions. In this\r\npaper we propose a metamodel for architectures with heterogeneous multimedia components. It enables the description of the\r\nsoftware architectures as a collection of components manipulating various types and formats of data, and interacting between\r\nthem via specific adaptation connectors.
