Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), which can provide integrated services of various media types and bit rates, is rapidly becoming the dominant technology for deploy ment of distributed interactive multimedia services. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a Multi party Conferencing System for deployment on ATM-networks.The underlying CORBA-based middleware models the com puting platforms, networks and multimedia devices, such that distributed interactive multimedia services can be developed and deployed over heterogeneous environments. Furthermore, the embedded algorithms including scheduling and protocols are tuned for deployment of services over ATM networks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
