Workstation-based multimedia conferencing: Experiences from the MICE project

摘要

In 1992, the CEC agreed to finance a one-year project called 'Piloting of Multimedia Integrated Services for European Researchers (MICE)'. The goal of the project is to enable interworking between European researchers, and connecting them to sites in the US, using existing facilities. The main aim of MICE is to enable multimedia conferencing (audio, video and shared workspace) between conference rooms and workstation-based facilities, hardware and software codecs, packet-switched networks and ISDN, using both uni- and multicast technology.
