Abstract: In this paper, we study the problem of synchronization management in hypermedia documents where we proposed a formal approach inspired by separation logic to analyze and correct progressively the temporal, spatial and hypermedia synchronization constraints. For that purpose, we have developed a tool named Hypermedia Document Builder (HDB) to help the authors to design and verify easily all the hypermedia documents constraints’ errors. So, the latter is presented immediately during the design phase to facilitate their correction and to minimize their number. Our HDB tool permits also to adapt the analyzed hypermedia documents to its different standard web presentation formats such as: HTML5 or SMIL 3.0. Finally, the HDB tool has been compared with tools of similar nature of recent related works and the results show that the proposed tool advances the design of such tools.
