Abstract
-
Since the inception of the Java applet, many applet-based collaborative systems have been developed and shown to have usability of the Web as shared workspace. Using applet-based collaborative systems participants can share text and images. Java Media Framework has made possible a new stage of Java-based collaborative systems. Using JMF participants can share real-time media such as audio and video as well as text and images. As such, applet-based collaborative systems supported by JMF provide enormous significance in their supporting worldwide collaboration including desktop conferencing, distance learning and telemedicine. In spite of its priceless advantages, the intrinsic feature of the Web, its heterogeneous network environment, causes a significant disadvantage for Web-based collaboration. Since individual participants access the network with different channels, either high-speed intranet or low-speed telephone line, there are possibilities of lack of synchronization among what individual participants see from their shared workspaces. This dissertation has as its goal investigating the feasibility of providing a simple and pragmatic real-time collaboration framework which implements multimedia synchronization for Web collaboration. A development framework named as CAMUL (Collaborative Applet MULtisharing) and its prototype application named as CCR (Camul ClassRoom) have been developed to demonstrate the possibility of synchronized multimedia Web collaboration.
