Group Coordination Protocol for Networked Multimedia Systems

技术优势

Able to support long-distance, many-to-many group collaboration Shared access to resources by many users in real-time can be mitigated in a fair, distributed control process established by a network protocol Permits more efficient conference control over a shared control tree with concurrent reliable multicast Able to support selective, secure, and anonymous collaboration at real-time Extends concurrency control and mutual exclusion technology to general multimedia semantics and direct user-to-user interaction, thereby allowing any collaborative application of the method from local to internet-wide scope

技术应用

Teleconferencing systems Distributed interactive simulations Distance learning seminars Sharing resources in a virtual workspace

详细技术说明

Scientists at the University of California have developed a novel method of orchestrating the interaction and collaboration of groups working together on a computer network in real time. By using a Hierarchical Group Coordination Protocol (HGCP) embedded with a reliable hierarchical multicast, this method can support large groups on the internet instead of a few users within a local-area network.

*Abstract

Collaborative Multimedia Applications (CMA) allow users to share information and efforts in real-time and are becoming increasingly popular for group tele collaboration across many networks.  However, many fundamental coordination problems in current multicasting systems limit the widespread sharing of virtual workspaces. The resulting consequences, such as flawed telepresence, mutual awareness coordination problems, speech initiation conflicts, and diminished interaction, can be remedied by an effective mediation protocol.
