Design and Implementation of a collaboration Web-services system

摘要

Conference control has been studied for years but most researches focus on homogenous collaboration. There is no conference control framework for integration of multiple collaboration systems such as H.323, SIP and AccessGrid. In this paper we present a web-services based scalable conference control framework for such a heterogeneous collaboration system. Based on this framework, we implemented a prototype system to verify and refine our framework. This system can support various conferencing endpoints and communities.
