Collaboratory and Telecommunications Experiments.
Abstract
The objectives of this effort were to: (1) determine the appropriate distributed collaboration technologies for NYNet (an experimental, high speed network in New York State) applications; (2) prototype a Mosaic based infrastructure for delivering collaboratory information; (3) implement collaborative technology within the area linked by the NYNet ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network; and (4) demonstrate the capabilities of the multimedia collaboratory technology over an ATM network by means of a telemedicine experiment. Chapter 2 of this report surveys the various video conferencing and collaboratory solutions available from August 1994 to August 1995. The next chapter describes the Mosaic-based information server, caching technology, and Web-Oracle interface. Chapter 4 provides a description of the ATM cluster built and used during the project at the Northeast Parallel Architectures Center located in Syracuse University. Chapter 5 discusses research topics associated with telemedicine applications, including the Distributed Pathodology Workstation. Desktop collaboration and compression technologies are included in the appendices.
