The Rapport Multimedia Conferencing System - A Software Overview
01 January 1988
This describes the software architecture of the Rapport multimedia conferencing environment. The system is level structured, with each level acting as a server for the clients within higher levels. The paper focuses on two levels: the conference level and the user interface level. The conference level provides mechanisms that various user interfaces may use to implement different policies. The system's modularity permits conferees to use different interfaces within a single conference, accommodating various user preferences and specialized requirements.
